History of Beer Lover’s Day
Many different ways to brew Beer have been created, and the way we process Beer has changed and evolved over time. However, this holiday is dedicated to all the different kinds of Beer and the celebration of the people who love it.
As one of the oldest beverages humanity has ever produced, Beer is believed to date back to the 4th Millennium BC in Western Iran, as ancients were learning to make and drink Beer using Malted Barley.
Beer has a long and detailed history, but no matter the history, many people do know the fact that Beer is good.
Thousands of years later, today’s modern Society is crazy about Beer due to its taste, the way Beer makes people feel, and the commemorative way in which Beer is used, often included in a celebration or a get-together at places all over the world.
How to Celebrate Beer Lovers’ Day
Celebrating Beer Lover’s Day is a delightful way to pay homage to Beer. Try these ways to enjoy the holiday or come up with other creative ideas:
Go Out (or Stay In!) for a Beer
Of course, the most important thing for a Beer lover to do on this holiday is to enjoy a favorite version of this tasty beverage! Whether going to a Pub, Bar or Restaurant, or drinking a cold Beer at home out of a can, bottle or glass, this day is perfect for savoring Beer.
Take a Brewery Tour
Those who want to make the holiday into a deeper cultural experience might consider visiting a Brewery to see how they make Beer. The best part is that a tour often includes various samples of Beer the brewery has to offer.
Try a New Beer
With the upswing of Craft Beers all over the world, the options for trying a newBeer brand or flavor are almost endless! In fact, most Beer lovers have a bucket list of Beers they have heard about and want to try, so this is the perfect holiday to celebrate Beet.
Start with a couple of these unique Beers:
- Heady Topper by The Alchemist. This IPA is brewed in Vermont, United States and the Brewers recommend to forget the glass and drink heady Topper directly from the can.
- Westvletern XII by Westvleteren. A Belgian Quad made by Monks, this Beer can be a bit hard to get–sometimes but this Beer is on sale in the US for only one day a year!
Embark on a Beer Making Adventure
Home Brewing Beer is a trend that has become super popular over the past several years. To make it easy, kits can be purchased that provide everything needed to get started in home brewing. The process requires about 8 or so hours of hands-on work, and then the wait until the Beer is ready will be approximately 2-4 months. Home Brewing Beer requires a bit of patience, but the result is truly worth it!
Learn Some Beer Facts
In honor of the holiday, take some time to learn about different aspects of the world of Beer. For instance, many people don’t know that a Beer lover or enthusiast is called a cerevisaphile.
Try out these interesting trivia tidbits to impress friends at a Beer Lover’s Day gathering:
- Pubs and Restaurants in Germany serve Beer Ice Cream in the form of Popsicles! Beer Ice Cream is the perfect treat for a hot day as its Alcoholic content is less than that found in “classic” Beer.
Thank you,
