    What's a good Irish brew for the financially strapped (cheap) to celebrate leprechauns, four-leaf clovers, and getting pinched by random strangers?

    I'm finally going to open my Fantome Magic Ghost, I'm sure you can guess why.

    If money is tight just have guinness.

    For the financially strapped (that includes me) ? I would say Guinness. I go out of my way though to spend money I dont have on my favorite day. Will be drinking some sort of stout all day long.

    Seems like a perfect way to have green beer without food coloring, love it.
    Cheers.

    Well then, make it some Murphy's.
    Can't get Beamish anymore.

    I'm equipped with a four pack of Guinness Foreign Extra for the pregame. At the bars, which will be ridiculously mobbed, whatever the best option is. At the place I'm thinking I'll be at, a Sam Adams Seasonal. I refuse to drink green Budweiser.

    I need to see if I can track down some of that Guinness Foreign Extra - is that generally easy to find?

    Well, I'm going to have my last couple Harpoon's Irish Reds, and possibly top it off with the last Guinness Black lager, I have. I like them and I didn't pay too much for them.

    Harpoon Celtic Ale is decent. There's always Murphy's too.

    Whatever the best choice is, at the bar I'm at, during the morning/day/evening of Saturday. I can say this, the green swill, will not be the best choice!!!

    We get it in Casper and it's around and about $9.75 for a 4 pack. Me likes it.

    Geared up for Saturday with Conway's Irish Ale and Genesee Bock. But the more I see the Guinness Foreign Stout in the stores as of late the more I wanna try it...never remember having had this version.

    If you buy some, be prepared for lots of flavour!

    Smithwick's may be an answer to the Op's question.
