I come from a family of beer purists. At my parents' house, stout is the preferred form of foam, and woe betide someone who drinks a porter out of a pilsner glass. My love of green beer, therefore, is considered somewhat suspect.

But who among us can resist the lure of brightly colored beverages? Especially for a holiday. Also, as an added bonus? Easy to make.

Not a beer person? No problem. You can still enjoy a green libation or two.
