Best Picks from Butcher Boy for a Great St. Patrick’s Day

By the time March arrives, we’re all ready for a little green, and there’s no better way to do that than to go all in on St. Patrick’s Day. Irish heritage or not, sometimes you just need a little color and fun to break up a cold, gray month—and we have everything you need to celebrate this uniquely Irish-American holiday.

Let’s start with corned beef. Whether the typical red corned beef with spices or the harder to find New England grey corned beef, Butcher Boy doesn’t disappoint with housemade and delicious corned beef offerings. Have you ever heard of corned ribs? For a delicious alternative, Butcher Boy corns ribs in-house. The result is ribs ready to pair with traditional (or less traditional) sides. Want an easy corned beef boiled dinner recipe? We have that, too. Or, you can pick up our boiled dinner mix of vegetables ready to throw in the pot or completely cooked ready-to-serve corned beef dinners at our store.

If corned beef isn’t your thing, celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a hearty lamb or beef Irish Stew or Shepherd’s Pie made in our kitchen.

Looking for traditional Irish Soda Bread? We have it at Butcher Boy, with or without caraway seeds. If you prefer making your own, here’s a delicious authentic family recipe, along with its story.

St. Patrick’s day has become synonymous with beer, and what’s more Irish than Guinness, a brand from Dublin that dates back to the 18th century? Even those who are continuing the tradition of dry January can enjoy a pint of non-alcoholic Guinness. You owe it to yourself to check out Butcher Boy’s full selection of beer, including Murphy’s, Wexford, Smithwick’s, and other stouts and ales. There’s sure to be something that will be perfect for your St. Pat’s celebration.

After a boiled dinner and refreshment, who doesn’t crave a sweet treat? We have delicious Bailey’s cakes from Konditor Meister and individual St. Patrick’s Day cakes.
