where can i buy green beer

You can usually buy green beer either as a special St. Patrick’s Day product or by making it yourself with regular beer and food coloring.

Fast options (online)

These are good if you just want something delivered:

  • Big-box retailers’ websites (e.g., large supermarkets and general retailers often list “Green Beer Day” or St. Patrick’s themed beer/party items around March).
  • Specialty beer/spirits shops online that ship nationally, which sometimes stock pre-colored green beers or St. Patrick’s Day bundles.
  • European/intl. shops sometimes sell actual “green” beers such as Super Bock Green or Mont Blanc’s green beer that have a naturally tinted or mixed style.

Tip: Search their sites for “green beer” , “St. Patrick’s” or “Green Beer Day” and check shipping rules for alcohol in your area.

Local places to check

You’ll usually find green beer as a seasonal thing, especially in early–mid March:

  • Irish pubs and sports bars: Many tap light lagers and add green coloring just for St. Patrick’s Day.
  • College-town bars: Some promote “Green Beer Day” with pitchers or cups of green-tinted draft beer.
  • Liquor stores and beer warehouses: Ask if they have any pre-colored seasonal beer or if they sell food-safe color or glitter specifically marketed for beer.

Easiest fallback: make your own

If you can’t find a ready-made green beer, you can make it in a minute:

  1. Buy a light-colored lager or pilsner (bottles, cans, or draft to-go).
  1. Add a couple of drops of green food coloring to an empty glass.
  1. Pour the beer over it and gently stir; adjust with an extra drop if you want it darker.

Some shops even sell edible glitter specifically for “green beer” or “Brew Glitter” so you can make sparkling green beer that looks like what you see in social photos.

TL;DR:

  • Check big retailers and online beer shops for “green beer” or St. Patrick’s Day items.
  • Ask local Irish pubs and liquor stores if they’re doing green beer specials.
  • If all else fails, buy regular light beer and add green food coloring at home.
