Weekly Beer Calendar Update: March 13 - March 19

If you like to celebrate the Irish in you with great beer, food, and people sans the color green, there are several ways in which you can do that over the next week. If you'd just like to eat and drink well without all the holiday hoopla, you can do that as well.
