Is this a legitimate question? Think about it for a few minutes. Does it still make sense?

May 7th is National Homebrew Day

April 23d is Biertag (Beer day) in Germany.

That's when the Reinheitsgebot was signed in 1516.

(Fortunately, Hitler's birthday, Apr 20, is NOT celebrated...)

I vote for today

right now national beer day

cheers mi amigos!

theres teach a friend to homebrew day.

It's St Patty day isn't it? Just wish they would serve Guinness instead of that green crap.

that works for me!

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.

ummm if you are talking about dyed/colored BMC beer and NOT beer that has not aged enough, by "green", then you are most defiantly in the wrong bar...

as for St. Pats the same argument would stand for Oktoberfest...

I am going to raise the ante just a bit on this topic and say since we have Oktoberfest (even if it is at the end of Sept vs. in October), I say we make all of October National Craft Beer appreciation month.

This would run parallel with Breast cancer awareness month so all of October can be dedicated to Drunken boobs!

Actually according to the googlez, it was yesterday.

National Drink A Beer Day Sept. 28, 2010

http://beeradvocate.com/forum/read/3068839

And listed in here http://www.tfdutch.com/foodh.htm

I can't find any historical sources as to why.

But wait, isn't Budweiser considered the National beer? Might want to re-think this idea.

That sounds like such a teaser holiday. It should have been National Drink Beer Day (- the "a").

that front page picture is one of the most disturbing pictures i have ever seen. ever.

Here's International Beer Day: Aug. 5th.

I'm biased, though, since that's also my birthday !

I also realize that it appears to have been dreamed up by a couple random dudes in California.
