Here`s a toast to the two Padraigs beers on tap at @emmettspublichouse on Grand Avenue in St Paul! Slainte!
Padraigs most popular beer, the Red Chimney Irish Red Ale AND Padraigs newest flagship, the English ESB are both on tap! WOW! How do you choose?
One is a beautiful and delicious Irish red beer and the other is a classic, malt forward English beer.
Either would be amazing with anything on the menu.
