TV Time– Why waste your time with this weekend’s questionable movies when stay home drinking serious beer and binging out on the third season of Netflix’s dark political soap opera, House of Cards. This season joins Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) who having schemed (and murdered) his way successfully into the White House finds himself besieged on all fronts. A Putin-like Russian leader is hitting on his wife at state dinners and all his political allies secretly plotting against him. Plus his wife, Claire Underwood (Robin Wright) has started to develop a conscience – and that can’t help but complicate things.

St Patrick’s Day is this Tuesday and were getting things started early with one of our favorites from Flying Dog. Lucky SOB Irish Red Ale is a 5.5% ABV seasonal that they say is brewed with specially picked four-leaf clovers (not that we’re buying that).
