Ireland is known for producing delicious stouts, lagers, and red ales that are consumed worldwide during St. Patrick’s Day. This St. Patrick's Day, our beer buyer Mike Pires wanted to showcase some wonderful American beers that would be great substitutes for some of the classic beer styles of Ireland!
Russian River Brewing Co. "Velvet Glow" Helles Lager, California (12oz can) – $2.49
Ireland may be the most famous for their stouts, but lagers are the most consumed beer style in the country. Velvet glow is a light and crispy delicious lager that any fan of Irish lagers will enjoy.
Ghost Town Brewing "Verlust" Schwarzbier, California (16oz cans) – $4.24
Another great Classic Dry Irish Stout substitute with notes of dark chocolate, espresso, and baking spices.
There Does Not Exist "Return To Earth" Oatmeal Stout, California (16oz can) – $3.99
A creamy, silky-smooth stout that will be enjoyed by those that love creamier Irish stouts.
Fort George Brewery "Cavatica Stout" American Double Stout, Oregon (16oz can) – $3.99
Cavatica Stout is a robust and rich stout that will be a pleasing alternative for those that love Guiness’s big and bold Foreign Extra Stout.
