People realize beer in Ireland isn’t green right? It’s beer colored.
If a brewery wants to do an homage to Ireland put out a good Stout and Red Ale. Jesus.

Good fucking luck finding a decent red ale in the US. Mostly it's just Killians, and if you're lucky a craft version of Killians. Occasionally you can find a well made, balanced red ale, though.

Im a cellarman at a place that just cranks out high ABV IPAs and at every quarterly meeting when they ask if anyone has any beer ideas I’m always like “oh you know like a nice Irish Red or Oktoberfest or Amber” and management is always like “those don’t sell dickhead”.
Amber.
We need an Amber Ale bot that just delivers a beer any time you mention a style that isn't "IPA"
Amber.
I for one am tired of the high booze/ hops IPA arms race
"WE GOT A TRIPLE IPA THAT'S 17 ABV!"
Jesus at that point you should just drink fucking Whisky. They also fucking suck to make cuz they're Truby as shit everything they touch takes twice as long to CIP.
Careful, you're going to usher in something called a "Triple Dry Hopped Islay Scotch"
Cursed
I mean sometimes you just want a beer, you know?
Jesus Christ tell me about it. I love reds but Yanks can only make a "lite brown"
I'm (ashamedly) a "Yankee" through a few definitions of the term. But goddamn, just make a decent red ale.
Surprisingly, Sam Adams had a great one, but then they changed the recipe, bottled it, and started distributing it.
Best I've had lately was Fred from Upper Pass out of Vermont.
Not a lot of Irish reds but plenty of breweries do decent Ambers in the US. I've always prefered flanders reds to Irish reds but they tend to be pricier in the US unfortunately.
Flanders are so good, but also completely different compared to Irish reds and American ambers.
I also think there are a ton of mediocre amber ales in the US craft scene, and many of them are mislabeled brown ales.
Amber.
I mean there's tons of mediocre everything in the American craft scene. Also tons of awesome beers.
