Well now, if you ain’t heard of it yet, let me tell ya about this Green Beer Sunday thing that’s comin’ up in 2024. Folks from all around gatherin’ together to drink that funny green beer—yes, you heard me right, green beer. And it ain’t just any beer; it’s the kind where they put a bit o’ color in it to make it look like somethin’ special. It’s like the beer’s wearin’ a green coat for the occasion!
So, this Green Beer Sunday, it’s all goin’ down in North Tonawanda, NY. You mark your calendars, now, ’cause it starts Sunday, March 3, 2024, and don’t you go missin’ it. They’re gonna kick things off right around noon with a parade, marchin’ all the way from Main Street down to Canal Street. The folks at the parade, they’ll be singin’ Irish tunes, too, and if you’re lucky, you might hear a bit of the Restless Soles playin’ their music. Now, they know how to get the crowd goin’!
Now, ya might be wonderin’ how in the world did green beer come to be? Well, let me tell ya, it ain’t from Ireland like you might think. Nope, it started right here in the good ol’ U.S. of A., way back in 1914. This fella, Dr. Thomas Curtin—he was a doctor, but not the kind you go see for a cough, mind ya—he was an Irish American, and he decided to make green beer for a St. Patrick’s Day party. This happened at the Schenerer Club in the Bronx, New York. And let me tell ya, folks just loved it! Ever since then, it’s been a tradition for a lot of folks to drink it when they’re out celebratin’ St. Patrick’s Day.
But hold on there, don’t go thinkin’ that green beer’s somethin’ fancy or different from your regular beer. Nope, it’s just your regular beer, only with a little food colorin’ or even natural things like spirulina to give it that green tint. It ain’t no healthier or more dangerous than regular beer—just looks a bit more festive, that’s all.
So, what kind of beer should ya choose for makin’ green beer? Well, light beers are the way to go. Things like pilsners or lagers work best, I reckon. They’re light and easy drinkin’, which is perfect when you’re out there celebratin’ and enjoyin’ the parade with friends.
If you’ve never had green beer before, now’s your chance to give it a try! You don’t have to wait for St. Patrick’s Day either; Green Beer Sunday is the perfect time to get out there and join in on the fun. So, put on your best green outfit, grab yourself a pint of that green beer, and let’s get to celebratin’! Whether you’re Irish or not, it’s all about enjoyin’ good company and havin’ a good time.
Make sure you don’t miss the rest of the festivities too! Besides the parade and the music, there’ll be plenty of folks raisin’ their glasses and cheersin’ to good health and good luck. It’s a time to enjoy the simple things in life and just be around people who know how to have fun.
So remember, folks—Green Beer Sunday 2024 in North Tonawanda, NY. March 3, noon sharp. Don’t be late, and don’t forget to wear your green!
