Today is: 
International Beer Day 
Itâs one of the best days of the year⊠itâs International Beer Day!
For anyone who wants to take even a little glance around their city, one of the staples that can always be found is a good bar, a friendly pub or a busy night club. Whether a person is in rural Ireland, busy Hong Kong, the backwoods of Canada or even the heart of Mzanzi, there is always someplace to have a brew, bru.
And this day is perfect for those that do enjoy those drinks, and to appreciate the people who make them â itâs Beer Day!
Originally started in the United States, in Santa Cruz, California to be exact, Beer Day was begun with the purpose of celebrating the craft of brewing. And it was also created with the intention of showing appreciation for those involved in the making of beer.
The day then quickly expanded to include celebrations of bartenders and other beer technicians as well. Why not get everyone involved?
Not only did Beer Day expand in scope, but in size as well. It quickly began gaining international recognition and following. Between 2007 when it was started in Santa Cruz and where it currently is now - celebrated in over 50 countries and on 6 continents all across the globe!
Diverse and new experiences are the hallmark of Beer Day, which means that everyone is encouraged to share various techniques on how to make beer, along with how to enjoy it. In addition, there are also the various foods and activities that go along with it, to celebrate this enjoyable day of brewing skill and beverage enjoyment.
And naturally, beer drinkers are encouraged to drink beer, to try nee beers, and to celebrate the brewers and crafters of their favourite brews. That encouragement comes with the obvious and crucial âEnjoy Beer Day Responsiblyâ rider.
The founders of the Beer Day had three reasons that they declared for starting the day:
- To gather with friends and enjoy the taste of beer.
- To celebrate those responsible for brewing and serving beer.
- To unite the world under the banner of beer, by celebrating the beers of all nations together on a single day.
How to Celebrate International Beer Day
Celebrating International Beer Day can be loads of fun! Try out these interesting ideas for enjoying the day:
Toasting The Beer Makers
Many folks can agree that the perfect place to begin celebrating this day is just raising a glass, tankard, bottle or can and toasting those that make the amazing brew possible. Whether it is at a bar, club, pub, or even just a cook-out, it is easy enough to find a place to get a brew or two.
Learn Some Beer Trivia
Beer has an interesting history and unique fun facts that can be thrown around with a group of friends, especially on Beer Day! For instance, maybe everyone doesnât know it was the 18th Amendment to the US Constitution that made alcohol illegal in 1919!
Try these fun facts out to impress those friends at the bar on Beer Day:
- Oktoberfest began in Munich in 1810 as a celebration of the royal wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig to Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen.
- At the 2010 state fair in Texas, USA, Fried Beer won the prize for the Most Creative Fried Food! (Who knew beer could be fried?)
- In response to Americaâs Prohibition Act, Winston Churchill stated that this was an âaffront to the whole history of mankindâ.
- A beer pipeline was created in Germany, where more than 100,000 gallons of beer was piped through 7 kilometers of pipe to serve visitors to a heavy metal music festival. The purpose was to keep the grass from being ruined by beer trucks driving back and forth over the festival grounds!
Join In On a Beer Day Event
Most places that hold Beer Day events do so by tapping new, or in some cases rare, beers. Other places might celebrate by hosting a happy hour that lasts all day, or putting on trivia events and gamesâwith prizes involving beer gear, of course! Grab some friends (being responsible) and share the wonders of beer with those nearby.
Try a New Kind of Beer
In honor of the day, consider hoisting up a different type of beer than the usual fare, to expand those horizons. With more than 100 different styles (and sub styles) of beer in the world, and literally thousands of different brands, there is always an opportunity to try something new!
Beer Day is the perfect time to try out one of these unusual styles of beer:
- Gruit. This beer might especially cater to lovers of Tolkeinâs fantasy world as it takes on a medieval flare, with herbs and spices that with names like mugwort and horehound. Try a variety such as Posca Rustica from Brassier Dupont, Tourpes Belgium.
- Oyster Stout. Hailing back to rumors of a tradition in New Zealand and England where some brewers were believed to use oysters in beer for âhealth purposesâ. A few modern breweries have taken this up, like The Porterhouse Brewing Company in Dublin, Ireland.
- Gose. This one, coming from ancient brewing antics in Leipzig, Germany, is brewed with salted water that produces a briny flavor. Upright Brewing in Portland, Oregon, is one of a few brewers that have started reviving the tradition with their own versions of this salted beer.
Even if it is just a more average type of beer you have never tried before, give it that much at least. Sometime, somewhere, a brewer spent time to get that beer right, and to market it to the public.
So hoist your tankard, tap the kegs, tip the service staff and spread the love of beer this International Beer Day!

Today is: Particularly Preposterous Packaging Day 
It runs the gamut from the amusing to the frustrating: an oversized box used to ship an item that would find a bubble mailer spacious, all the way up to packaging so secure a high-powered rocket launcher might not open it for you.
When you need scissors to open the scissors, what do you do? Or what about that small item you ordered online that came in a box 10 times too big? How about when you only want three bananas but theyâre all individually-wrapped? Iâll tell you what you do: You get wrap rage.
What is wrap rage? In a nutshell, wrap rage refers to heightened levels of anger and frustration resulting from hard-to-open packaging. In 2006, Consumer Reports even recognized the phenomenon when it created the Oyster Awards for the products with the hardest-to-open packaging.
Frustration isnât the only issue either. Many of us suffer some very real injuries.
Have you ever battled vainly to open a tightly sealed bottle of tablets â only to end up with a sprained wrist and an even worse headache? Particularly Preposterous Packaging Day aims to lift the lid on this kind of problem.
So, if youâre being forced to use knives or scissors to prise a toy or tool out of an impenetrable plastic case, donât keep your feelings under wraps. Let the manufacturers know that their way of packing items just isnât your bag.
As well as wasting customersâ time, unnecessary over-packaging also wastes precious resources. Whatâs more, it leaves us all with extra rubbish to dispose of.
Ever heard of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch? No doubt a lot of it comes from preposterous packaging. According to National Geographic: âThe Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a collection of marine debris in the North Pacific Ocean. Marine debris is litter that ends up in oceans, seas, and other large bodies of water. About 80% of the debris in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch comes from land-based activities in North America and Asia. Trash from the coast of North America takes about six years to reach the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, while trash from Japan and other Asian countries takes about a year.â
An ideal way to mark the occasion is to avoid unnecessary packaging as much as possible. This is a day to bypass burger cartons, say no to supermarket plastic bags and do some thinking outside the box!
I really wish I could be wrap raging today as I unpack my new TV, but I canât because it still fecking hasnât been delivered yet! 
Hopefully you have got all your purchases and are ready to struggle through all the Particularly Preposterous Packaging it has! Happy Saturday!
