Beijing loves an excuse to drink beer – and man, is St. Patrick’s Day an excuse to drink beer. But what makes this St. Paddy’s Day especially exciting is that it falls on a Saturday this year, which means you have all day Sunday to nurse that hangover. This year’s celebrations include beer, music, and combinations of beer and music. Oh, and a couple of comedy nights too. (All events are on Sat March 17, unless otherwise stated.) Let's begin.
