Green For St. Paddy’s, Taupe For Winter

We all know today is green beer’s big day. But what about other colors? Do they feel left out? Maybe some of them should get a chance to shine in a frosty mug, too.

Ecru: Order up several pitchers and discuss your commitment to muted tones and sustainability/ Paul Turner , The Slice. More here.
