St. Patrick's Day in Chicago usually means two things: Dying the river green and drinking beer.
Driving the news: Chicago's Local Style Chips is celebrating the holiday with a new flavor that combines both traditions, plus a chance to win a special, salty prize.
State of play: "Lucky bags" of Green Beer chips join Local Style's other flavors, which include Classic Salted, Italian Beef, Hot Giardiniera, Hot Dog and Deep Dish.
The contest: Munchers can enter a drawing for more chips by posting a photo of themselves with green chips on social media, tagging @localstylechips and DMing them a screenshot.
Taste test: They taste like a IPA-ified chip, with a bit of a sour note that turns into a more hoppy, salty flavor.
- They're 100% non-alcoholic.
The verdict: I'm not a huge beer drinker, but every once in awhile I definitely crave a good cold craft beer that packs a hoppy punch, and these fit the bill. Plus, no hangover!
- Pair it with my favorite Local Style flavor — Deep Dish Pizza.
