St. Patrick’s Day : The Perfect Opportunity to Discover New Beers
Mar 16, 2026
Every year on March 17th, the streets of many cities around the world turn green. Extravagant hats, shamrocks, festive music, and raised pints : St. Patrick’s Day has become one of the friendliest and most popular celebrations… especially when it comes to sharing a good beer.
But where does this tradition come from, and why is it so closely linked to beer?
A Celebration from Ireland
St. Patrick’s Day originally started as an Irish religious holiday honoring Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. According to tradition, he introduced Christianity to the island in the 5th century and used the shamrock to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity.
Over time, the holiday expanded beyond its religious roots to become a major celebration of Irish culture: parades, traditional music, green clothing, and, of course… plenty of good cheer.
Today, St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated far beyond Ireland. From major capitals to small neighborhood pubs, the atmosphere is always the same: sharing festive moments over a good beer.
Why Beer is at the Heart of St. Patrick’s Day
Historically, St. Patrick’s Day fell during Lent, a period when certain dietary restrictions were lifted for the occasion. Irish pubs naturally became the center of the celebration.
Over time, raising a glass on March 17th became a worldwide tradition. But St. Patrick’s Day is no longer limited to Irish beers : it’s also the perfect opportunity to explore new flavors and celebrate the craft of brewing.
And why not take the chance to try a beer from Monaco, crafted with artisanal recipes designed for pleasure and sharing?
