By now you are gearing up for some green thing.

The Green and White playing their first game in the
NCAA Bracket...

Some Green Beer on St. Patrick's Day on Saturday ...

Your Green face in the mirror this Sunday morning.

Well I say plan ahead for the Blue holiday!
St. Labatt's Day on Friday, March 23!

You see, St. Labatt was the patron saint of BEER, and
of course he's a Canadian.  It used to be that they
mixed Rice and Barley together to make a drink that
was rather vulgar tasting and non alcoholic.  By St.
Labatt found the grain from which the Jumping Bean
grew.  Once the bean was plucked, he found that if he
jumped up and down, the grain would jump up and down
behind him.  He began to do this on March 23, 1873.
And he bounced up to his local brewer and the little
grains "hopped" behind him and fell into the rice and
barley mix.  The brewers were dumbfounded when the
found out this new grain made the brew taste better
AND people got drunk when they had some.  So they
named the grain HOPS since it just jumped into the
vat, and they named the drink BEER.  St. Labatt is
long forgotten, but his beer is still remembered.

Next Friday, celebrate St. Labatt's day at the New Way
Bar by drinking a few Blue ones with Free Beer.
