History of International Beer Day

As you may guess, International Beer Day is not an ancient celebration. It was founded in 2007 in Santa Cruz of California. Jesse Avshalomov was the brain behind this idea.

This special day has three main purposes that any beer lover should keep in mind:

First, the day is to gather with your friends and enjoy the drink.
