Syracuse, New York, the city in the United States with the highest per-capita St. Patrick's Day celebration, starts the festivities with a delivery of green-colored beer to a prominent Irish pub. Fortunately, you don't have to visit Coleman's Irish Pub, or stock up on food coloring, to drink green beer this St. Patty's Day.

Attention home brewers and beer fans: Who wants a green brew (or two) on St. Patrick's Day? Good news for the novice and experienced brewers alike: You can make your own green beer in time for St. Patrick's Day. Here's how...

From organic brews to solar power to photovoltaic cell systems, these green beers all come from eco-savvy breweries. It's the stuff of fantasy: cracking open a cold one on a pristine California beach and forgetting about the world.

Everyone loves beer—even environmentalists. The trick is to make sure your libations are green and eco-friendly. Our How to Go Green Guide is here to help.

Green beer is a concept no longer restricted to St. Patrick's Day: It's now a full-fledged environmental phenomenon.

If it seems that you've been attending an indistinguishable parade of dinner parties week after week, and it's getting tedious, perhaps it's time to spice up the format. Same goes for company holiday parties-really, O esteemed Regional Manager, you're booking the same room at the same bar for the seventh year in a row?

Drinking green beer isn't always as simple as just waiting for St. Patrick's Day. Thankfully, there's an easy but foolproof method to enjoying beer and treading lightly on the planet: drink from draught rather than from the bottle.
