With St. Patrick’s Day coming up it’s time for us bring back
a crowd favorite: Mission Dry Stout! It’s dark, dry, and the perfect beer to
celebrate your Irish ancestry!
Did you know that our dry stout, at 5% ABV is actually high
for the style?! Dry stouts are typically about 4% - at most 5% ABV! Dry stouts
are brewed with acrid roasted barley and a moderate amount of hops, making for
a sharp, dry pour.
This year our Mission Dry Stout is being put on the Nitro
tap! This means it is going to have a light creamy body, making it even more
smooth and complex. Try a Mission 'n Torn Black ‘n Tan for a fun mix! Be
patient with the nitro pours however, Guinness claims that a pour should take
119.5 seconds!

St. Patrick’s Day has more of a history than just drinking
beer and is celebrated in more countries
than any other national festival. The Shamrock does have a relevance to
this day. St. Patrick is the patron saint and national apostle of Ireland. His
mission is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland’s people in the fifth
century by explaining the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) using the
three leaves of a native Irish clover, the shamrock.
Whether you are Irish or not, St. Patrick’s Day seems to be
a fun time to celebrate! So come on in, wear some green, bring a hungry belly
for Hickory’s Corned Beef Sliders, and grab a pint! Our Mission Dry Stout will
be flowing, and if that isn’t your style, you will get a hoppy green surprise
with any hoppy beer order! We are open early and staying open late! Join the St. Patrick's Day facebook group!
