St. Patrick’s Weekend at Stellwagen

A Three-Day Celebration on the Irish Riviera 🍀

St. Patrick’s Day is a big deal on the South Shore, and Stellwagen Beer Company is going all in with a full weekend of festive pours, live music, and community fun.

The taproom is rolling out a special Imperial Pint deal just for the occasion: grab your first 20oz pour of Irish beer for $18 (with a commemorative glass included), then enjoy $8 refills all weekend long. It’s the perfect excuse to settle in with friends and celebrate the holiday the South Shore way.

Live music keeps the energy going across the weekend, with performances on Friday (6–9 PM), Saturday (5–8 PM), and Sunday (3–6 PM). Pair the tunes with Irish-inspired food menus served throughout the weekend, making it easy to stay awhile and enjoy the festive atmosphere.

The celebration also supports a great local cause. On Friday from 12–9 PM, Stellwagen will donate $1 for every pint or 20oz Irish beer sold to the Marshfield Education Foundation, turning every toast into support for local students.

There’s even more happening around the taproom:
• Marshfield St. Patrick’s Day 5K bib pickup takes place Friday from 6–9 PM.
• On Sunday starting at 1 PM, Lettering by Shannon will be onsite offering custom engraving for your Shamrock Glass: Add your name, a shamrock design, or create something uniquely yours.

With festive pours, great music, Irish-inspired bites, and community spirit, Stellwagen’s St. Patrick’s Weekend celebration is shaping up to be one of the most fun spots to raise a glass on the South Shore.
