Here are some ideas for preparing your brewery to welcome those happy-go-lucky pub-goers.<\/span><\/p>\n

St. Patrick\u2019s Day Your Way<\/span><\/h2>\n

Brewery owners should plan for their share of green-clad revelers on St. Patrick\u2019s Day.

1. Start With the Beer<\/span><\/h3>\n

It probably goes without saying, but it all begins and ends with beer. Americans spend nearly <\/span>$245 million<\/span><\/a> buying beer on St. Patrick\u2019s Day, and some of it should definitely be your craft brew.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are so many ways to bring the theme of St. Patrick\u2019s Day to your brewery, but you could start with offering themed beers, such as your favorite lighter brew dyed, you guessed it, green. Perhaps one of your lighter pilsners or lagers would really shine with a bit of food-safe dye. If you want to offer something a little more Irish but without the theatrics, remember to highlight your stout. Have your bartenders practice making a four-leaf clover in the frothy head atop every perfect pour of stout ordered on March 17th!<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Make It an Event to Remember<\/span><\/h3>\n

Whether people make plans to get a pint at your brewery on St. Patrick\u2019s Day or find their way in looking for a place to meet a friend to celebrate, take steps to make sure they remember you next year and many times in between.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bring on the Green Decorations<\/span><\/h4>\n

Turn your brewery into a St. Patrick\u2019s Day celebration with decorations. You could scatter mischievous leprechauns throughout the place or drape your space in green, orange, and white twinkly lights for Ireland\u2019s flag. Whatever your taste, there are ways to decorate your brewery that will help your customers feel like celebrating\u2014while still maintaining the atmosphere of your special spot. Make a classic statement with bouquets of greenery, such as Bells of Ireland or shamrocks, on every table, or hang green banners everywhere. You decide what works best!<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Fun and Games for St. Patrick\u2019s Day<\/span><\/h3>\n

St. Patrick\u2019s Day isn\u2019t just another day for those looking to celebrate the luck o\u2019 the Irish, so show them a good time. Offer your customers some fun, themed activities when they visit you on March 17th. Hide some leprechauns or Irish flags around the brewery space, and offer kids who find one a green lollipop to invite family fun. Put out crayons and St. Patrick\u2019s Day coloring sheets earlier in the day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trivia<\/span><\/a> endures as a brewery classic, so create Ireland or St. Patrick\u2019s Day-themed quizzes to test teams\u2019 true mettle. Start simple or get technical. You might also turn already existing games in your brewery into St. Patrick\u2019s Day-themed activities. Turn your shuffleboard table or dartboard into a competitive game with the winner receiving a free green pint or branded custom brewery stein to take home.<\/span><\/p>\n

Custom Brewery Mugs for St. Patrick\u2019s Day\u2014and Every Day<\/span><\/h2>\n

Craft beer culture has become a way of life, and visiting breweries is now a regular activity for a lot of people who want a place to meet a friend, order a pizza, relax, and try a new draft or drink an old favorite. People also love to buy <\/span>merchandise<\/span><\/a> when they visit breweries. T-shirts, hats, stickers, and custom brewery mugs with your logo front and center are ideal items to offer for sale or as giveaways for special events.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
