What Beer Day of the Year Is It?

Let’s be honest, there’s never a bad day to celebrate the delicious nectar of the Hop Gods but did you know there are a bunch of official beer celebration days throughout the year? Our alcoholism hobby is so fun!

Hey, and no need to look them up, I did the work for you!

Here’s a list below for the remaining celebratory days this year, starting with International Beer Day tomorrow. You can also reference the beer calendar I just added to the site HERE at your own convenience.

There seem to be a few light weeks in the calendar though. Maybe we need to add a few more celebrations in there so we can still treat our drinking like a hobby? Here are a few of my suggestions. Let me know what you think we should add?

• Aug 19 – Take a Picture of Your Beer Day
  • Your camera’s already out for World Photography Day anyway. Kill 2 beer with one stone, right?
• Sep 3 – Barleywine Day
  • It’s also National Beard Day. Those two things paired with a flannel shirt seem to work well together.
• Oct 17 – Pumpkin Beer Day
  • Probably one of the most controversial beer styles out there. Whether you celebrate it in your cable knit sweater drinking out of a mason jar or you’re simply pouring it down the drain, let’s show some love/hate to this seasonal style. Don’t @ me.
• Nov 7 – Brewery Merch Day
  • Not necessarily a drinking day but a good way to show support to your local craft brewery. Show off your fav shirt, hoody, hat from your fav brewery.
• Dec 23 – Prepare Your Liver Day
  • The day before Xmas eve. Your liver is going to hate you the next two weeks. Maybe just have a water, you lush. Or at least something sessionable.
