Green Beer Day

Apparently, in the early 80’s, St. Patrick’s Day fell during spring break at Miami University. Bar owners were bummed to be missing out on the profits of that day so they came up with “Green Beer Day” on the Thursday before spring break to make up for it. And, it has stuck around for 40ish years to much of the chagrin of the University. According to Drake, cops are brought in from everywhere and you only go up town if you are actually 21. The festivities kick off at 12:01 am on Thursday morning and continue throughout the evening/night. Certainly a tradition to be remembered at Miami.
