Cant think of a way... Why not do like the reest of us and put a couple of drops of food color in the bottom of your mugs just before pouring, when the beer hits the bottom of the mug it will mix as your pour.

How to your Keg beer Green
It's 8 a.m. on the morning before St. Patrick's Day, and a gray-haired
man stands inside a massive, cleanly scrubbed warehouse on the
southern edge of Pontiac.
He hovers over a keg of beer, hands in latex gloves, dressed in
stained jeans and a grubby blue Budweiser jacket.
He unseals the keg, screws a hand pump into the top of the barrel,
pours 2 ounces of green food dye down the pump's tube. The pump is
depressed to inject the dye into the beer. The pump is then unscrewed
and the keg is resealed.
It's a process he has repeated 70 times over the course of a week.
Yes, it's true. There is a man whose job it is to make the beer green
for St. Patrick's Day. And that man is Don Watkins.
For 10 years, it has been Watkins' job to dye Hubert Distributors'
kegs of Budweiser and Bud Light lime green. His handiwork means
taverns and restaurants throughout Oakland County will have green suds
today.

If you search these forums for green beer you will find other options. I just posted another way about the other day.
Happy St. Patrick's Day

Out of curiosity, and enacting the "there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers" rule, how dark of a beer can you dye green? Anyone experimented with Guinness or the like? I'm sure you can't make the body green, but what about the head? I think that would make for a nice presentation.
hmmmm, even if the beer can't be dyed green, I wonder if a dropper could be used to put a green shamrock in it....must experiment....

green beer is NOT IRISH. They throw people out of pubs here just for asking about green beer.
