International Beer Day is celebrated annually on the first Friday of August. This global event encourages people to gather with friends and enjoy their favorite beers, whether at home, in bars, or at breweries. It aims to promote the craft of brewing and appreciate the diverse flavors and styles of beer from around the world. The day also honors the people who brew and serve beer, including brewers, bartenders, and pub owners. Many communities host special events, tastings, and promotions to mark the occasion, making it a fun way to connect with others and celebrate the rich culture surrounding beer.
