The greenest day of the year is coming up. On March 17, it's that time again. The biggest holiday in Irish culture, St. Patrick's Day, is upon us. That means: green clothes out of the closet and off to the nearest pub! What to order at the bar for the real Irish experience? Find out here.

The classic: Irish Stout

You want to celebrate St. Paddy's like a real Irishman? There's no getting around Guinness Draught. It's dark, creamy - and the ultimate St. Patrick's Day mood setter! There's a reason it's a favorite among beer lovers around the world. With its unique malt flavor and hints of licorice and coffee in the finish, it stands out. Who knows, it might even get you and your friends singing along to "Drunken Sailor" late at night.

May it be sweeter? Hoppy party 

Forget green colored beer, a true Irishman enjoys a Guinness on this holy day. But you want it a little crisper? Guinness' Hop House 13 is the perfect choice for you. It's pale, and with its fruity notes, it's an excellent match for the malty base.

Fun Fact: on St. Patrick's Day, an average of 150 pints of Guinness are bottled every second. All we can say is: Challenge accepted and bottoms up!

A touch of fruit: Fruity Kiss

If the classics aren't really your thing, don't worry! There's something for everyone on St. Patrick's Day. Magners Irish Cider, for example. Light and refreshing, its fruity taste is perfect for the celebratory mood. Whether Magners Original with apple cider, Magners Berry or Magners Pear, at the end of the evening it's "Everybody's Irish on St. Patrick's Day".
