A little taste of 2009's music:
O'Connor's
Irish Stout
You have asked for an Irish Stout and
we have one for you... O'Connor's Irish Stout. You won't find this
stout anywhere else... it was especially brewed just for us!
Why O'Connor's?
Mrs. O'Connor is a woman cut from
traditional Irish cloth; strength that belies her dimensions. With a
cross look that would cut you in half and a presence that holds it
all together. Dignitaries coming to
visit her parish had been told many tall tales of her and never
leave disappointed. Some say it's the royal blood flowing in her
veins. Her only known weakness they say is a crankiness in the
evenings with the onset of slumber. Others claim that even the Queen
of England enjoys an afternoon nap. But does the Queen of England
have a stout in her name? I think not.
Like her namesake, O'Connor's Irish Stout is strong flavored with a
body that belies its content and has a little kick to it. Drink
responsibly as you don't want her to catch up with ya.
(John O'Brien won the
“Name the
Stout” contest, suggesting we name it after the Colorado Irish Festival
President. After six years, Kerreen "Kacey" O'Connor is stepping
down.
The Colorado Irish Festival Committee Chairs voted and endorsed the
name "O'Connor’s Irish Stout". Thank you,
Mr. O'Brien for your suggestion and thank you Kacey for all your
years of bringing the best of the Irish to Colorado!)
Volunteers are the heartbeat
of the festival. Without them, this festival would
never happen. Wouldn't you like to get in free, get
a great tee shirt, and help out a worthy cause?
