When something has been around for essentially the entirety of human civilization, that must mean that it has something special about it.
So what makes beer so special?
Is it the wide variety of flavors it is available in? The frothy head and the frost that forms on a truly, perfectly chilled glass? Or is it something else entirely?
National Beer Day is the perfect opportunity to dive in and sample the panorama of flavors and experiences it offers. It is the ideal day to find out exactly what it is that makes beer so absolutely special and one-of-a-kind! In today’s beer culture, it’s easy to find a local craft brewery that offers tours, tastings, and even other fun activities. While many are located in larger cities, some have also begun to see the beauty in placing their beer brewery locations outside the city limits–on farms or in rural areas. Some have even converted old barns or farm buildings to house their beer-making equipment and activities.
Once at the brewery, learn the history of beer itself as well as the local history of the particular place and types of beer brewed. See the production lines and hear stories while on the tour. A beer tasting is likely to be on offer, sometimes tapped directly from the tanks to ensure freshness.
National Beer Day is celebrated on this day because it coincides with the day in 1933 when the 18th Amendment was repealed in the United States. This act ended 13 years of prohibition and made beer (and other alcoholic beverages) legal again. Some people like to celebrate the night before, referring to it as “New Beer’s Eve”.
