St. Patrick's Day is coming up! Whether you're planning to go all out in all green or not, downing a pint or two of the good stuff (along with some tasty bites) is never a bad idea. Guinness -- the gold standard of Irish stout and the best-selling alcoholic drink in Ireland -- has a creamy malt character that goes well with cakes, sweets, desserts and breads, as well as savory roasts, seafood and spicy food.
