Guinness is a fine stout and there are plenty of fine Irish style lagers floating around out there from large breweries as well. That being said, please go out and enjoy whatever you happen to find this Saint Patrick's Day, just please remember that there's massive amount of locally made stouts and Irish themed ales and lagers that support hundreds, if not thousands of our neighbors. Here's a list of locals only beers for you try.
Grid City - Oatmeal Cookie Stout (nitro): This comes out today and It will defiantly be on my list today. Grid City's nitro offerings are always top notch. 5.0% - Only at Grid City.
Hopkins - Irish coffee Stout: This take on a classic cocktail is brewed with Irish whiskey and coffee beans. Full of all the roast characteristics you'd expect from an Irish stout, complimented with heavy coffee notes and a touch of whiskey.
Hopkins - Dublin Slammer Stout: Brewed with lactose, vanilla, Irish whiskey, and coffee. Inspired by the popular shot of an Irish stout, whiskey, and cream liqueur. This sweet stout is bursting with chocolate, vanilla, and coffee notes.

2 Row - Rollout Stout: 2 Row doesn't do a lot of sub-five percent beers and I'm embarrassed to say, I've never tried this one. None the less, you can find this one to-go at the brewery in growlers. 5.0% - Available at 2 Row.
UTOG - Lovely Lady Nitro Stout: Taste was very smooth and creamy oatmeal with a hint of toffee and coffee just sipping on it. Overall this stout is very enjoyable to drink leaving a lace all the way down but it feels stronger then 5.0%
Talisman - Iron Age Oatmeal Stout: The palate carries strong notes of coffee and malted barley with grassy hop-bitterness in the background. Moreover, one can tell this stout was brewed with good water, and the result is incredibly drinkable.
If I missed anything, I apologize.
