(I feel terrible that we just had to suffer IPA day and now we have to have more beer, but bear with me and I'm sure we'll get through it together) If you look around your city, one of the staples of any city is a good bar, a friendly pub or a busy club. So no matter if your in rural Ireland, busy Hong Kong, the back woods of Canada or even in the United Arab Emirates, there is always someplace to have a brewski. And this day is for those that do enjoy those drinks, and to appreciate those that make them – International Beer Day! History of International Beer Day Originally started in Santa Cruz, California, International Beer Day began to celebrate the craft of brewing, and to show appreciation for those involved in the making of deer. This quickly expanded to included bartenders and other beer technicians. Not only did it expand in scope, but in size as well, quickly gaining an international recognition and following within only a short years. In between 2007 when it was started in Santa Cruz, and currently where it is now celebrated in 207 cities, 50 countries and on 6 continents. Diverse and new experiences are the hallmark of International Beer Day, encouraged the sharing of techniques on how to make beer, along with how to enoy it. Various foods and activities that go along with it, to celebrate this enjoyable day of brewing skill.
The list of beer names at a recent beer festival made for amusing reading, having grown up with a choice of Mild or Bitter. My favourite was Janet's Treet Porter, but I stuck withWibbly Wallaby
A very good reason i live in Bavaria ,,,, beer heaven . Although a town called Fücking in austria is beer hell
I think I missed IPA day which was very remiss of me, so I shall make up for it today... and it's a Friday too, how lucky! I love looking at beer names, one of my favourite is a Cornish one called Ginger @hailfrank
We used to have Pony Ales here, brewed locally on the island but gradually succumbed to a subtle demise and sadly are no longer available. Their I.P.A. was nectar. So Guinness it has to be now and supposedly "It's good for you" but I somehow doubt it.
I'm raising a glass to all tlb'ers this very moment cheers all ! ........................................................well a magner's anyway
