Saint Patrick's Day in Massachusetts has always been a big celebration. It falls on a Monday this year, which begs the question: why don't we get the day off?

Massachusetts is just about to celebrate St. Patrick's Day! And it's pretty tough to find a drink that is just as synonymous with the celebrated day than Guinness.

As it turns out, on average, Massachusetts sells one of the most expensive pints of Guinness in the U.S.
