Green beer

bquiggerz · May 3, 2015

Hello everyone,

My dad went on holiday recently and was in a pub that served, yes you guessed it, green beer. Now I'm wondering is this beer simply coloured green with good colouring or is it done form of naturally occurring colour?

Thanks,

Ben.

I remember having some green beer in a pub in Worcester a few years back and I have been wondering ever since how they did it. Google searches haven't really helped. Any ideas, people? I would love to try and clone it.

Actually I've just tried another Google search and found a couple of things. It looks like you have to add stuff to a light ale or lager. You can add green food colouring, concentrated chlorophyll, spirulina (which, apparently, is a type of blue-green algae, but which is edible), powdered wheatgrass juice (which also contains a lot of vitamins and minerals).

afaik its a US fad for St Patricks day, accomplished with food dye, not my cup of tea.

My dad had it somewhere in Europe, it wasn't for St Patrick's day it was just one of their regular ales, I'll have to ask him about it
