The King of Beers is turning all of its beer "green" on March 17 for St. Patrick’s Day, but the brand isn't planning on using any green food dye. Instead, the beverage company, as part of its St. Patrick’s Day campaign, will pledge "enough Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) to cover the estimated electricity used to brew beer in the U.S. in one day," it announced Friday.
