Green day
It is that time of the year again when the world celebrates St. Patrick’s Day with Guinness.
Ireland is known for many things, but the country's two biggest would have to be Guinness and St Patrick's Day. Not surprisingly, the two go hand in hand.
Today St Patrick's Day has become a truly international festival and Guinness, the undisputed symbol synonymous with the festival.
Although St Patrick's Day can be traced back to the fifth century and has religious meaning, the fun and merry-making culture of the Irish have lead to St Patrick's Day being a cultural celebration of music (ceol), drink (ol), and fun and laughter (craic).
Guinness has a strong presence in over 150 countries, and it wasn't long before the rest of the world caught on to the spirited St Patrick's Day festivities. Today, as the Guinness St Patrick's Day festivities prepare to roll out in full force in Malaysia for the first time ever, we explore what other nations do to celebrate this iconic festival.
Malaysians should be pleased to learn that the Guinness Foreign Extra Stout they enjoy is the absolute best in the world, having recently been awarded the 2006 Guinness League of Excellence beating out all other countries including Ireland.
