If it were socially acceptable, we'd lick this cheesy sauce (made with whatever beer is on hand) right out of the bowl – but soft, pillowy pretzels are probably a more appropriate vessel.

Even if you're more into sweets than stout, you can still raise a pint on St. Patrick's Day. This individual Guinness chocolate cake is baked right in the glass, and is topped it with a frosting that looks just like the beer's frothy foam.
