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. He chose August 5 annually as International Beer Day at first but in 2012, it was voted to change to the first Friday of August.
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.
Second, International Beer Day is to celebrate and appreciate the jobs of those brewing or serving beer to us.
Last but not least, beer can have the role of uniting people, so why don’t we all celebrate a common day for this drink in all nations?
