After the Stategic Studies Group meeting tonight, I learned that something can be both ‘green’ and ‘beer.’ Nobody denies that the Turf has exposed people to new experiences. Tomorrow morning, it’s back to the mechanical paper-writing process.
There are a number of people with whom I really miss speaking: whether by letter, email, instant message, or face to face.

In the spring of 2005, I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in International Relations and a general focus in the area of environmental politics. In the fall of 2005, I began reading for an M.Phil in IR at Wadham College, Oxford.
Outside school, I am very interested in photography, writing, and the outdoors. I am writing this blog to keep in touch with friends and family around the world, provide a more personal view of graduate student life in Oxford, and pass on some lessons I've learned here.

I am willing to bet that the green beer in question is Stonehenge Sign of Spring.
Not the best beer, but a bit funny.

That is indeed the name of the beer. Aside from the unusual colour, it doesn’t have much to commend it.
You can get green beer here in the States too. Of course, you have to wait until St. Patrick’s Day, and then it’ll be some crap like Budweiser with green food coloring added.
“Why don’t you tell me about the sunsets in Sweden
And the laws of Eden
And how you were the rock of Gibraltar
And how they called you foxy? (foxy)
Well that’s another whole box of Pandora’s
That’s another whole box of them ties
Slide your foot off the gas before we crash
Right back into the median”

Jessica,
It’s entirely likely that this beer was something akin to what you describe. It was better than American Budweiser (never to be confused with the Czech kind), but not enormously so.
