Green Beer Day- March 2017
A History
The Year. 1952. The professors of Miami University, in order to curb drinking on St. Patrick’s Day, schedule exams on that day of green alcoholic ecstasy. What did the students do? Did they accept defeat? We don’t know what was specifically said that day, but we think it went something like this:
Student (chump): “It sure sucks that we can’t drink on St.Patty’s Day! I have too many exams”
Cooler Student who would have worked for us: “Why don’t we make our own day to drink beer, green beer…and we’ll call it Green Beer Day!
Student (chump): “Bully! It’s the 50’s so I say that!”
Ever since that day that we have hypothetically played out for you, The tradition continues with Miami students celebrating Green Beer Day the Thursday before Spring Break. Every. Damn. Year.
Waking up before the sun, dawning their green tee-shirts, glasses, or otherwear, and Keg-and-Eggging it until they come here!
And Skippers will be here. 5:30am waiting on you. Green Mouths Welcome.
