*Note: Many consider Guinness to be non-vegetarian/non-vegan due to the company’s reported use of isinglass, a fish product, to remove extra yeast. Guinness maintains that its products are animal-product-free, but admits a possibility that minute quantities of isinglass might be carried into the beer. If this is a concern, try Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout or another vegan beer.

Just in time for St. Patty’s day feasting. Serve up with a bit of rye bread and you’re all set!
