Indeed, like the number 37 bus, these celebratory days never turn up alone! 😂 Apparently, the first Thursday in August every year since 2011 has been IPA Day (blog yesterday), and the first Friday in August since 2013 has been International Beer Day; previously, from 2007, it had been on August the 5th until 2012, well, it's the 5th again this year! Another 'day' created by an American, Jesse Avshalomov, at his local bar in Santa Cruz in California in 2007, you have to love those Yanks for suggesting I celebrate beer regularly!
The purpose of the day is to gather with others and enjoy a few beers, indeed, to celebrate the variety of beers, and to celebrate those who brew, manage, and serve beer to us, not to forget the wonderful pubs and bars where we drink. As Simon Difford suggests, let's raise a glass "to Beer, a drink that brings the world together." (diffordsguide)
I'll have to pop out for a few pints too, cheers! 😄
