"I had the opportunity to experience my first St. Patrick's Day in America last March, and now I'm thrilled to be able to introduce our hometown to the lucky winners," said 26-year-old Killian Lett. "My family is looking forward to showing beer drinkers how to have an authentic St. Patrick's Day in the true spirit of George Killian's Irish Red."

In addition to the sweepstakes for the trips to Ireland, Killian will return to the states this March to help introduce a series of pub rules to fully authenticate the holiday.
