History & Purpose of International Beer Day
The exact date of International Beer Day is celebrated on the first Friday of August. For this reason, the date changes from year to year. Jesse Avshalomov created the holiday in 2008 in Santa Cruz, California. What began as a playful experiment with his friends, is now a celebration in 207 cities around the world.
On the holiday’s website, Avshalomov lists three purposes for the boozy celebration. They are to:
- Gather with friends and enjoy the taste of beer
- Celebrate those responsible for brewing and serving beer
- Unite the world under the banner of beer by celebrating the beers of all nations together on a single day
Furthermore, Avshalomov challenges celebrators to try both locally brewed beers and beers from unfamiliar cultures. On his website, he sells International Beer Day posters, explains the differences between types of beer, and posts social media updates about the holiday. In fact, he even has suggestions on how to celebrate! If you’re curious, you can visit the site at www.internationalbeerday.com.
