Cheers! A day to celebrate a Mug of Beer- Today August 2nd We celebrate International Beer Day
Beer is one of the oldest drinks the world has ever known. International Beer Day gives fans around the world one last excuse to organize a tour on the first Friday of August. Beer has the reputation of being the drink of choice for working men and women.
When served cold and sparkling or strong and slightly hot as in an English pub; we understand why beer has conquered the world. Whether in bars, breweries, tea rooms, high-end restaurants or sports stadiums, beer seems to be pretty much everywhere.
Beer is a Crowd pleaser, as evidenced by a glance at the "National Today" calendar. There are no less than 11 beer-related holidays throughout the year, including New Beer's Eve (an ode to the end of Prohibition) and the National Beer Recognition Day, an opportunity to admire works of art and illustrations of beer cans. So, on International Beer Day, put aside our differences, toast the world peace and raise a glass of beer on August 2nd.
