03/27/2025

This post remembers the West Virginia launch of at in downtown Morgantown.

The staff at Levels went above and beyond what we expected to make this event an enormous success.

-They promoted the event for weeks in advance.
-They printed a special menu for the launch.
-They served roasted turkey legs--ala Ren Faire.
-They helped with a Stein Hoist Competition.
-They promoted the medieval garb costume contest.
-They provided a microphone for both contests.
-They crafted cocktails using Superstition Meads for even more drinking options!
-The gals behind the bar totally dressed the part of medieval beer slingers.

Thank you, Levels, for making this one of our favorite (and most successful) product launches ever!! You all are a dream to work with!!

And for the record, the Peach Bellini Mead on draft was the hit of the evening! And the Prickly Pear Mead was a close second. The crowd kicked a keg of each in just a few hours!! That's awe-mazing!!

The Ralph's Beer 2025 annual St. Patty's Day pub crawl approves this product.

After a pint or three of the "leaded" variety of , the Big Boss switched to Guinness Zero, a non alcoholic version of the iconic brew out of the Emerald Isle.

Not only did it look like the "real thing,"
It tasted like it too!

Next time you find yourself the designated driver, order this!

Years ago, the Big Boss and Mrs. Ralph visited .

While there, they visited the in County Cork.

Because Mrs. Ralph wanted to kiss the Blarney Stone.

Because there's a legend that says, "Kissing the Blarney Stone endows the kisser with the gifts of the gab and great eloquence. As a writer, Mrs. Ralph wanted those gifts.

Soon after, Mrs. Ralph crafted this Irish Blessing for her loved ones.
Coincidence?
We don't think so.

If you're ever in an Irish pub...
Or at when Lucy is working...

You may hear Mrs. Ralph's say,
"I'm one quarter Irish, you know!"
And will probably spray out of the Big Boss's nose.

We get the desire to support local beers.

But let's be honest. There are a whole lot of great beers outside whatever state you live in.
Or country.

Take , for example.
From Dublin, Ireland.

This creamy elixir of life is one of the best beers in the world.
Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy your first perfect pint, or your 1,000th, this year on St. Patrick's Day.🙂

Guess where the Big Boss learned to pour a perfect pint of Guinness?

-In the Guinness Connoisseur Bar.

-In the Guinness Store House.

-In Dublin.

-In Ireland.

Sure and begorrah!!

This post from way back when remembers the days of the Great Guinness Toast.

When "Big Tony," "Miss Jo," "Little Tony," and Mrs. Ralph would go out and drink and promote , like, a million times in the 4-6 weeks leading up to the best day of the year: St. Patrick's Day.

You will note, the "Little Tony" had a mustache back then.
You will note, Mrs, Ralph wore her hair short back then.

Any guess as to where this photo was taken?

When the good beer guys and gals at Ralph's dream, they dream of driving a truck full of Guinness kegs.
