How will Santa find his FAVORITE Red Chimney Irish Ale from Padraigs?
Heck, he may want one in Minneapolis, another in St Paul and yet another in Rochester!
He`s definitely not going to waste time stopping on every roof and checking every red chimney! He`s going to use Padraigs Beerfinder page at https://www.padraigs.com/beer-finder/ or have one of his elves scan the QR code

Being an Irish brewery, we brew and sell Nitro beers, which have a smoother and creamier head and less bitterness. Some claim the ‘tiny bubbles’ make the beer dangerously drinkable. Currently we have our Red Ale and Stout on Nitro in the taproom. #beer #brewery #donho #irish #nitro

Watching podcasts "live" is always fun, especially seeing and hearing the real-time audience reaction!
Fun time last night with the @purpledailypodcast team in the taproom, the crowd interaction was fun, and the ugly sweaters added to the festivity!
(and yes, we sold a LOT of Red Chimney)
