St. Patrick's Day is usually celebrated in a convivial atmosphere, and few refreshments are so closely associated with this day as Irish beer (often colored green just for the occasion).  Irish-themed microbreweries abound across the United States, and 50 of them have been carefully selected for a cross-country virtual pub crawl.  No word on whether all 50 breweries will be tinting their beer green this year.
 
The virtual pub crawl is sponsored by Geometrx, the mapping experts, who wanted to see what a map of US Irish-themed microbreweries would look like.  You can see the results at http://geometrx.com/pub-crawl/ .
 
To sample a taste of the national pub crawl at the local level, head over to http://www.altitudechophouse.com/ .  If traveling is in your spirit, you can try visiting as many of the 50 breweries as you can - but you really should recruit a designated and patient driver.
