It’s time for THE best beer drinking holiday…St. Patrick’s Day! And what better brew to be sippin’ on than one of our deliciously creamy Irish Cream Imperial Stout’s! Seriously, it’s the gold at the end of the rainbow. Stout’s have been popular for a loooong time with the first Stout documented in around 1677 and have remained popular throughout time (obviously!).

Because what’s St. Pattie’s Day without a Stout?!
Beer Cocktail: Cinnamon Heart Cocktail
There’s nothing like warming yourself up after a long day in the snow with a little good ol’ Fireball. I mean, winter and Fireball go together like PB & J, Bonnie and Clyde, Sasquatch to our Stout. Since we were feeling a lil spicey here at OYB, we decided to mix our two winter favourite’s: Sasquatch Stout & Fireball and make a sweet little V-Day treat we call the “Cinnamon Heart Cocktail”! And of course, lot’s and lot’s of whip cream on top. How could we not!?

Another Exclusive Interview with OYB'S Sasquatch
You know him, you love him, he love’s the attention….ladies and gentlemen it’s time to check in with OYB’S very own…@SasquatchOYB!! The self proclaimed “influencer” has has a taste of fame over these past few months and it’s safe to say it’s gotten to his head even more than before. As we speak the big guy is probably lounging feet up at one of our desk’s sippin’ on his afternoon Stout which he refers to as his daily “juice cleanse”. He learned that word online and we don’t think he really knows what it means but we’re too scared to correct him. He’s a major diva.
