Cannon Guide to St. Patrick’s Day

Related Topics: Irish whiskey

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, from your friends at the Cannon!

When Mike assigned me this day to write an article, I knew I had to do something related to this holiday. As an American who is proud of his Irish heritage, I wanted to share a bit of that with you all. There’s some hockey content here, too!

First of all, it’s Paddy not Patty

Irish people get really sensitive about this. “Patty” is a piece of meat. “Paddy” is the proper short form of Padraig, the Irish version of Patrick.

Soundtrack

Music is a huge part of Irish culture, and I can rave about classic Irish music, or popular modern acts like Van Morrison or U2.
