St. Patrick's Day: Where to Get Green Beer
Ahh… green beer. Just the sound of the name makes your stomach contents curdle, doesn’t it? In spite of references to the verdant beverage popping up as early as 1910, a New York physician named Thomas H. Curtin is usually credited for creating the drink around 1914.
