Shenanigans Irish Red Ale and St. Patrick's Day Cheers with Millstream Brewing

TwoGuys&Beer

Embark on a malty adventure as Andy, and I take you through the rich flavors of Millstream Brewing Company's Shenanigans Irish Red Ale. With a backdrop of Amana, Iowa's quaint charm, we weave tales of brewing beginnings sparked by beers like Killian's Irish Red, while dissecting what makes Shenanigans a stand-out in the red ale category. As our taste buds relish this malty brew, you'll find yourself swept into a world where beer isn't just a drink; it's a pivotal character in our life stories.
Pour yourself a hearty glass and prepare to chuckle as we mix suds with humor, taking cues from Bill Engvall's beer straw antics. Can you imagine pairing your favorite brew with savory smoked meats? We do just that, contemplating a smokehouse-brewery fusion and reminiscing about the evolution of American craft beer culture. Hear heartwarming stories of local breweries like Millstream that are pouring more than just beer into their communities and discover how the humble taproom has become a cornerstone of camaraderie and innovation.
Finally, we don the green and raise a toast to St. Patrick's Day, delving into its American parade origins and the curious case of corned beef's place in Irish festivities. We'll color your perceptions as brightly as the Chicago River on the big day while discussing everything from the phenomenon of Guinness to the shortest St. Patrick's parade you could possibly imagine. So, grab your favorite pint, settle in, and let's celebrate the spirit of St. Paddy's together with some good cheer and even better beer.
