The two stout producers/rivals here, Connor’s & Guinness, are as expected doin stuff for St Patrick’s Day, which officially falls on Wednesday, March 17. Over in Ireland, it has become a five-day festival! It’s obviously huge in US too.

Pat was a nice dude & an Irish missionary (387–493 AD), and brought Christianity to Ireland waaay back. St Patrick’s Day began as a purely Christian holiday but has gradually become more of a secular celebration of Ireland’s culture. St. Patrick’s Day is a traditional day for spiritual renewal and offering prayers for missionaries worldwide.

I’ll take the “spiritual renewal” part to mean boozing.

Anyway, low-profile Connor’s (of Carlsberg Malaysia) has stuff at five outlets in d Valley on Wednesday. Some activities, some prizes like cameras. A free half pint if ur in green.

Guinness (of GAB) is throwing a party at Central Park Avenue, 1Utama on Friday, March 19, from 6pm.

Dress code for girls is bikini.

Well, not really, but can la.

There gonna be bands, comedians, fireworks & a booze garden. Details here or preferably go to Facebook page instead. A lot quicker.

Entrance is free of course, but not booze i guess. From experience, Guinness draught should be $10 net a cup.

Happy St Patrick’s Day to all Malaysians, seeing as how we celebrate everything! Cheers, sláinte, bantai!
