On St. Patrick's Day, Guinness consumption in the U.S. is expected to rise significantly. The beer, brewed since 1759, has become a staple of the holiday, with over 13 million pints consumed worldwide each year. Guinness has seen record sales in the U.S., with breweries in Baltimore and Chicago. Traditional Irish dishes like shepherd’s pie and corned beef are popular, but food pairings with Guinness include beef stew and oysters, enhancing the beer's flavors. Brewery ambassador Colm O’Connor suggests using Guinness in baking, such as in Irish soda bread or desserts like caramel ice cream floats. The beer's unique dryness complements various foods, making it a versatile choice for celebrations.
