What's an O'Dowd Drink for St. Paddy's Day?

A Wexford Irish Cream Ale, of course. Wexford is the first Irish Cream in a widget can to be imported to the US. What’s that widget do in the can, anyway? Although the little widget sounds cool in the can, please do not shake the can; you’ll just get an Irish Cream shower when you pull the tab pack. The widget is an in-can system that allows for a creamy head when you pour the beer for an authentic draft experience; the widget releases CO² to create the head. Because of the widget, you are experiencing real Irish draft beer. Doug O'Dowd, our resident beer expert, would rather have the Wexford straight from the tap but the in-can system is as close to the real thing as you can get without getting the passport out and going through customs. The Wexford is light to medium-bodied with rich, smooth, mellow flavors of malt and caramel with a light touch of fruitiness. The Wexford Ale Company was established in 1810 and follows five generations of brewing traditions. Enjoy with some shepherd’s pie or the all-American St. Patrick’s Day favorite, corned beef and cabbage.
