I would not know what they celebrate in England since I do npt live there. I know they have strange things like Guy Falks night which is like Halloween but different and involves burning men made out of straw on a bonfire.<br /><br />This is Ireland and we do like to celebrate anything here.Sarumanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15948722985150698273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188731842335528276.post-12167863092345440702009-07-20T19:30:34.988+01:002009-07-20T19:30:34.988+01:00Well, here in the States we&#39;re celebrating more and more. It used to just be St. Patrick&#39;s Day, now its Cinco De Mayo and theres always some Oktoberfest things going on. I didn&#39;t think 4th of July would be a big deal anywhere else (&#39;specially England!)<br /><br />Still, from a business standpoint it might make sense. Lots of good craft beers from the US. Might be expensive to import them though!Scotthttp://thebrewclub.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188731842335528276.post-53033330538497278082009-07-06T21:57:05.048+01:002009-07-06T21:57:05.048+01:00Sounds good to me!!!Velky Alhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15929927359428659775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188731842335528276.post-52968222513444281552009-07-06T15:28:31.988+01:002009-07-06T15:28:31.988+01:00Oh sure: because Hogmanay and Burns Night aren&#39;t enough, you want the annual Scottish Holiday Corridor extended back to late November?The Beer Nuthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14105708522526153528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188731842335528276.post-49806358983140423462009-07-06T15:20:40.733+01:002009-07-06T15:20:40.733+01:00On the St Patrick&#39;s Day thing, I always find it strange that people I know who constantly refer to the Irish as &quot;bog trotters&quot; and the like during the year suddenly want to spend March 17th in an Irish pub getting totaled, same as people who deride religion in general and Christianity in particular still expect Christmas Day as a holiday. Perhaps the Porterhouse could do it&#39;s bit for Pan-Celtic unity by celebrating each of the patron saints days of our respective nations - I for one thing St Andrew&#39;s Day is criminally overlooked by us Scots.Velky Alhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15929927359428659775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188731842335528276.post-65199212610980796792009-07-06T13:17:07.078+01:002009-07-06T13:17:07.078+01:00Does anyone else hate Patrick&#39;s day? Pubs are full of daytrippers.
