INTERNATIONAL BEER DAY August 5

http://internationalbeerday.com/

It looks like somebody in California threw this together and hoped viral advertising would catch on. I'm not sure if this will go international but I'm down!

I will Drink to that!!!

Unfortunately that was yesterday here......

I'll just have to make it local beer day here. We're doing a little homebrew tasting after work tonight!

A celebration that can happen on EVERY day of the year!
August 5th just happens to be the wedding anniversary day for the wife and me.
Double bonus!

I'm all in! It's my birthday and national beer day! YAY!:rockin:

National Beer Day (April 7th) is the only with with a historically significant date.

April 7th is National Beer Day here in the US. In 1933 during the prohibition era, the Cullen-Harrison Act was signed into law by President Franklin Roosevelt on March 23rd. That law was enacted on April 7th allowing the brewing and sale of beer in the United States again as long as it was < 3.2% (4% ABV). It's said that people waited in line overnight on April 6th outside Milwaukee breweries in order to legally buy beer for the first time in over 13 years. As a result, April 7th is known as National Beer Day and April 6th is called New Beers Eve.

Kind of a random response to a (somewhat) old thread. Thanks for the info!
