We tried five unlike method of making fleeceable beer for St. Patrick ’s Day . See which 1 we liked — and which one we could n’t stand .
Celebrating St. Patrick ’s Day means two things : wear out greenso you do n’t get pinched and sip on afestive immature drinking . And since we ’ll be celebrating the holiday at home this twelvemonth , we ’re on a mission to discover the good at - house immature beer formula .
There are several green beer variations out there — of course , the easiest method is just to add up a few drop of green food coloring to your boozing , but we wanted to have intercourse if there was a good ( and tasty ) option . So , we examine five method by add different forms of light-green colour to five pints of dusty beer . Some were excellent , a few were only okay , and one we ’ll never make again .

Learn the best agency to make light-green beer at habitation — it ’s easier than you think !
How to Make Green Beer
The first thing we found is that it ’s easiest to start up with a light beer . Although it ’s sure possible to make green Guinness , you ’ll want a band less dye if you habituate a scant beer . We used a light beer for each of our test green beers , so we recommend using the same if you ’re after like event . See what we added to each beer and start making your at - homeSt . Patty ’s Dayplans now !
Green Food Coloring
The most obvious choice for pee green beer is with food color , which is certainly easy ! Because we embark on with sluttish beer , we only call for a few drops per glass . The darker the beer , the more food dyestuff you ’ll want — potentially gamble turning your tooth green as you tope . We did n’t bring much dyestuff , so this batch try out like a regular beer .
Rock Candy
This version of unripened beer was definitely our pet . We poured the beer into the glass and then budge it with a green sway candy stick ; it startedturning greenas tight as the rock candy dismiss . rock’n’roll confect is dye sugar , so it did n’t change the flavor of our beer at all .
Matcha Green Tea
This green beer formula was n’t the best thing we ’ve ever tasted , but it was n’t horrible either . We tally matcha green tea leaf powder to the beer . There was a definite health solid food taste , but we did n’t spit it out . This one was fun to try , but we wo n’t be making it again anytime soon .
Sour Apple Skittles
We were surprised by how well this green beer recipe worked . We added about 15 greenish Skittles to the bottom of our glass and started pouring . The beer turned green right away ! The beer speedily dissolves the greencandy finish of the Skittlesand then take up to absorb some of thesour appleflavor , which gives the beer a cider - like gustation that is actually middling enjoyable . This was the shiny green of all the beers , so you in all probability only require three to five ninepin to get a wakeful green effect .
come up an all - green handbag of Skittles might be possible , but since we did n’t necessitate many , we just fished out the unripe ones from a rainbow package and rust the remainder as a collation .
Wheatgrass
We ca n’t say we had gamy hopes for this light-green beer , and we were right . We added about a teaspoon ofwheatgrass powderto the bottom of the glass and then stream in the beer . For some reason , the mixture of the wheatgrass powder and the beer created so much foam that it was hard even to mix the pulverisation into the beer . And once we scooped out enough foam to try the drink , it tasted bitter and chalky . We wo n’t be making this light-green beer again .
