Green Beer, St Patrick's Day & Fire! - Pour Decisions #15

Thanks for watching episode 15! We are in the Drink In and Dublin Bar Academy Building for Saint Patrick's Day 2024! We talk about the history behind the day, speak to Stephanie Shen the Global Brand Ambassador for The Dublin Liberties Distillery, and we taste and drink some delicious Irish treats! Stephanie tells us some seriously wild stories both about the distillery and history of the liberties (including the mention of a wall of poop?), chats to us about her bartending past as well as some absolutely chaotic St Paddy's Dat stories involving falling into a fridge and setting a bar on fire!
