The St. Patrick's Day Guide to Guides

Hopefully, you've chimed in on our map of pubs in the Los Angeles area. In any case, every business is yearning to take your green in exchange for green on this happy day of Shamrock Shakes and the such. If you're staying in, The Rundown has a great list of store-bought beers you can find at Whole Foods and BevMo curated by LA-based "beer expert" and author Hallie Beaune. Over at the LA Times, Charlie Amter rounds up the irish pubs and where the holiday themed drink specials can be found (even non Irish bars like Liquid Kitty are getting on the game, and maybe it's a good idea to check them out, they'll be less crowded). The Scene also has a list and over at LA.com, they offer a handful of their picks.
