Americans who are "Irish for a day" will be drinking green beer on St Patrick's Day, but on the Auld Sod the brew of choice every March 17 is more likely to be a black beauty. The Hatchery embraces that tradition with a stout, bacon and cheese burger served up alongside a Jing-A Black Velvet Vanilla South at its current pop-up eatery, Common Burger. The burger and brew come with your choice of sweet potato fries or salad for 98 yuan ($14). If you miss the St. Patrick's Day fun, don't worry: Common Burger continues for a couple more months.
