Horum omnium fortissimi sunt Belgae.
--Julius Caesar, De Bello Gallico, Book 1
When beer and March intersect, it is often a flurry of pseudo-Irish cliches. Once again, I have decided to take the road less traveled this month; I’m sure that if you want information on Irish beers, you will just come see me. Meanwhile, let us also remember that March contains the Ides of March, the day when the Roman dictator Julius Caesar should have called in sick to work. As history tells us, Caesar ended up calling in dead the next day, which made governing Rome nigh-on impossible.
