Hey Robert,
I managed bars for many years here in San Diego. Every year, around St. Patricks day, I would purchase a couple of packs of food color (you can only get single colors in large quantities) in order to get a couple of droppers of food green. We would add a few drops to pitchers of beer on St. Patricks day. Well, a few years back, Miller came out with pre-dyed, specially marked bottles of Miller Lite for our sale on St. Pats. We ordered the week or two before and the night before, filled our coolers with the special bottles of green beer. For some reason, maybe Miller Lite wasn't in the minds of our partiers, or maybe they just thought that a pitcher looked better if it was green, but in the brown bottle supplied by Miller, nobody could tell that the beer was green, we just couldn't sell out of the pre-dyed green beer in the Miller Lite bottles. Since more than 7 days had passed from the time that we took delivery until the next time we saw our salesman, we were unable to send back our remaining bottles of Green Miller Lite! Only way to get rid of it... Sell at cost!
So Robert, In actuality, Green beer was not available just 1 day during the year! I think it took us a good week to get rid of that crap!
an a tip O' me cup to ya!

Because we in the americas are stupid enough to think the Irish drink green beer?!?
Ireland is remembered for its Leprechauns, and four leaf clovers. We must have started to die them green to remember the clovers or something because according to this guy he never saw green beer until he went to Canada..

Because they use food dye to dye it green on St Patrick's so everyone can be Irish! Although if you live in Belfast, you're not allowed to be Irish on St. Patrick's day. Your not allowed to wear green or have an Irish flag on St. Patrick's day. Although we are suppose to be thankful that we can celebrate the 12th of July with all those Catholic hating Protestants, who burned the name of a teenage Catholic who was murdered 2 months before the 12th because of his religion. And have the British Government give these a$$holes money to celebrate their Anti-Catholic ways, and we Catholics are expected to join in... be happy for them... and their anti-Catholic propaganda. Well I don't want to be any where near a bonfire that has KAT (Kill all Taigs) at the bottom of it, and where they are burning a Irish flag, or where they put posters of our hunger strikers on the bonfire to burn.
