Every week I take a look at the top-10 trending beers on BeerMenus.com from the previous 7 days. Last week included St. Patrick's Day, so unsurprisingly the trending list was dominated by Irish (or Irish-ish) beers.
Here's the top 10 list, from #1 to #10:

Note: The extent to which a beer "trends" is based on the week-over-week increase in views to its beer page on BeerMenus.com. So if a lot more people view the beer this week than last, it would be trending.
