Green Beer

All ya gotta do to turn your beer green is add a couple drops of food coloring to each glass, but if you want your beer to stay fresh and frothy, this might be difficult to do in large quantities in advance. One way to spare your bartender the hassle of adding the drops to each pour: you can purchase powdered dyes and add a tiny amount to the bottom of each beer glass in advance. This doesn t work in high-humidity areas in that case, you ll have to go drop-by-drop.
