The first Friday in August is International Beer Day.

International Beer Day was created in 2007 by Jesse Avshalomov in Santa Cruz, California. The day has three stated aims: gathering with friends to enjoy the taste of beer, celebrate those who brew and serve beer and united the world under the banner of beer by celebrating beers from all nations. From being celebrated at the founders' local bar it has since spread around the world.

Beer itself is one of the oldest alcoholic beverages in the world, with earliest evidence of its existence dating back 13,000 years, and is the most widely consumed, being the third most popular drink overall after water and tea. Beer is brewed from cereal grains and most modern beers are brewed with hops that add bitterness and act as a natural preservative and stabilising agent. Other flavourings may also be added. Beer is available in a wide range of types.
