If you didn’t know already, the celebration of green beer or green cider is an American custom that has become a tradition in the U.S. to drink at St. Patrick’s day celebrations.
This is because of Irish-American physician and eye surgeon, Thomas H. Curtain, who invented the drink for a St. Patrick’s Day party at the Schnerer Club of Morrisania in the Bronx, in 1914.
The doctor mentioned in an article released during that time, that the secret was adding a touch of blue dye to the beer and voila, green beer was invented.
The tradition has been celebrated for 109 years since, and in Syracuse, it was already celebrated at Coleman’s but will also be featured in two other events, including Beak & Skiff’s own St. Patrick’s Day party.
