Speaking of beer, as I was in the post below, beer drinkers can add a couple products of the Miller brewing company to your beverage choices at Irish Fest this year.
For those of you looking for something that Tastes Great® and yet is remarkably Less Filling®, step up to the bar and order a cold Miller Lite. For those after something with a bit of south of the border zip (and hey, green can!) how about a chelada style Miller Chill? I'll just need to see that I.D., Señor.
We welcome Miller and its fine beers to the party.
Our complete beverage list: Beers are Boulevard Wheat, Boulevard Pale Ale, Boulevard Dry Stout, Coors Light, Miller Lite and Miller Chill. All beers will be available in regular and large sizes. Soft drinks: Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, Diet Dr. Pepper, Sierra Mist, Mountain Dew, Aquafina water and G2 (a low sugar sports drink).

Do you know what time it is?
It's not "Miller Time", but time for your obligatory Guinesses Stout not at Irish Fest chastising!
Sigh. I knew it was coming.
No, we won't be serving Guinness. No, we have no plans to in the future. Yes, you can have an Irish Festival without it, as do the top two biggest in the country in addition to ours.
I have a theory I'll share with you. Years ago at the Brookside Irish Fest a glitch at the Boulevard brewery left us with no stout to sell. Not a drop. The brewery sent us their Bully Porter instead. We had lots of people upset that we didn't have stout. So many that after a while I just told our bartenders that if somebody ordered a stout, just pour them a Bully, instead of getting into a long explanation about why we didn't have stout. You know how many people called us on it? Zero. My theory is that if we had no signage indicating what beers we served, and we poured a Boulevard Stout for everybody that asked for a Guinness, 999 of 1000 people would never know they hadn't got what they'd ordered.
For all you Guinness drinkers: give Boulevard Stout a try. It's a really great stout. I addressed this issue almost a year to the day ago, as it happens. You can read that here: http://kcirishfest.blogspot.com/2007

The Boulevard Dry Stout is as good if not better than Guinness. And while Guinness is a decent beer it ain't exactly authentically Irish anymore.
This has become so commonplace as to be a convention, or cliche, hence obligatory.
Well, once a year. At least we got it out of our systems.
I generally don't buy Miller products, but Miller Chill is really refreshing on a hot day. Which, of course, it will be come Irish Fest weekend. That will be my drink of choice, I think.
