 Saint Days

St. Patrick's Day

Like every other bar in the US, on 17 March, we celebrate the feastday of St. Patrick. St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland who drove all the snakes out of Ireland. No green beer at the GLP (unless Dogfish Head brews one again), we do have a few Irish beer selections for that day as well some of the harder to find Irish Whiskeys.

St. George's Day

"St. George he was for England and before he slew the dragon, he drank a pint of English ale out of an English flagon."

Unlike every other bar in the US, on 23 April, we celebrate St. George Day. St. George is the patron saint of England who drove all the dragons out of England. We keep it low-key, but we do get in a bunch of English beers for that day. St. George is also the patron saint of Catalonia, but they stopped importing the good Barcelona beers to the USA, so for 2008, St. George Day remains a English themed event. 

St. Andrew's Day


Unlike every other bar in the US, on 30 November, we celebrate St. Andrew Day. St. Andrew had nothing to do with beer, but he is the patron saint of Scotland, and the Scottish have a lot to do with beer and whisky. His feast is a national holiday there, so what better way to celebrate here than with a lot of Scottish beers and Scotch whiskys (what better way is there to celebrate anything?).

My theory is that all of Scottish cuisine is based on a dare. - Mike Myers.

Researching Scottish dishes for last year's St. Andrew's Day, we have to agree. Our kitchen was up to the challange and our customers were up the dare. We sold out of Scotch Eggs and Cullin Skink. For 2008 we plan to have both of those again, plus Haddock Fish and Chips, and maybe more.
