What is International Beer Day?

It’s an opportunity for beer enthusiasts, breweries, and bars to come together and share their passion for this refreshment.
International Beer Day dates back to 2007 when a group of friends in Santa Cruz, California, decided to create a day to celebrate beer. Over the years, the event gained popularity and spread globally, becoming a recognized celebration in various countries.

Similar to International Beer Day, International IPA Day is a day dedicated to celebrating India Pale Ale (IPA), a popular style of beer. International IPA Day is observed on the first Thursday of August each year.
India Pale Ale is a type of beer known for its strong flavor, often with fruity, floral, and bitter characteristics. This flavor is due to hops, which ad that special zest to the taste of beer. It has a quite the history, dating back to the 18th century, when it was first brewed in England. It later became popular in other parts of the world.

People celebrate by enjoying different varieties of IPAs, hosting tasting events, sharing their favorite IPAs on social media using the hashtag #IPADay, and discussing the nuances and flavors of the beer with fellow enthusiasts.
