On March 17, George Killian Lett Will Toast America from Enniscorthy, Ireland, his Hometown and the Inspiration for George Killian's Irish Red
On Monday, March 17, fifth generation legendary Irish brewer George Killian Lett
will toast adult Americans in honor of St. Patrick's Day from Enniscorthy,
Ireland, the birthplace of the George Killian's legend. St. Patrick's Day began
in Ireland in the fifth century as a religious holiday to honor St. Patrick, but
these days it's a holiday celebrated everywhere, especially in the U.S. Airing
on ESPN at 8:08 p.m. EST, the toast will give American beer drinkers the
opportunity to add some Irish authenticity to their St. Patrick's Day
experience.
"It gives everyone in Enniscorthy great pride to see our city's name on every
bottle of George Killian's Irish Red," said George Killian Lett. "My toast on
St. Patrick's Day is my opportunity to say thank you for keeping the spirit of
our family's recipe alive."
In addition to toasting America, George will also share his favorite tips for
raising a pint which include:
-- Master the perfect pour every time. To achieve optimal head, tilt the
glass at a 75 degree angle and pour the beer slowly
-- Appreciate the
color. Before taking a first sip, hold the beer up to the light to enjoy the
color. George Killian's Irish Red has a rich, all-natural ruby color that comes
from its slow-roasted caramelized malts
-- Breathe in the aroma. As with
wine, beer has taste notes that can be detected by inhaling its scent. George
Killian's is brewed with slow-roasted caramelized malts, which gives the beer
its natural red color, and can be appreciated before even taking a sip
--
Savor the first sip. In order to truly taste the full-bodied, yet smooth flavors
of the slow-roasted caramelized malts, first enjoy a small sip. Be sure to hold
it in the mouth and swish it around before swallowing
-- Enjoy in good
company. In Ireland the pub is at the heart of every community. Good people,
good music and good conversation make a perfect pint taste even better. A
requisite Irish spirit and a love of quality beer doesn't hurt
either
Based on the same family recipe from 1864, George Killian's Irish Red appeals
to beer drinkers looking to break out of their ordinary routine. George
Killian's is still brewed by singing maltsters using special slow-roasted
caramelized malts, that naturally deliver the beer's unique red color and smooth
bold taste. The George Killian's Irish Red maltsters sing to the malt before it
goes into the kiln to encourage the barley as it's a living organism and the
singing brings out its goodness.
