On St. Patrick’s Day, if you are a drinker, you will inevitably run across a green beer. You may wonder how they brew such an odd colored beer. It is really quite simple. All you need is your favorite beer and some food coloring.
As strange as it may seem at first, blue coloring actually seems to work better than its green counterpart. If we go back to the old color wheel, though, it makes perfect sense. Yellowish beer plus blue food coloring equals green beer.
It is true that you can make any beer green, however, lighter beers do color much better. Using a darker beer can take a lot of food coloring. As much as you might like your dark beers, looking like you have just been munching on a handful of grass might make you change your mind for one holiday of the year.
With all types of beer having a variety of colors, you can experiment with different beers and amounts of food coloring you put in, creating the perfect shade for your next St. Patrick’s Day festivities.
5-6 drops of food coloring, which can be found at most grocery stores, usually for less than five dollars, is all it takes to make your very own green beer.
