Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I guess there is no point in reminding you that today, March 17th, Irish people around the world celebrate Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. At first this was a simple Catholic holiday, however, it became more and more popular due to whatever reasons and even non-Irish people celebrate this holiday, probably because it’s beer time and Irish beer is among the best in the world.
