National Drink Beer Day

September 28th is National Drink Beer Day in the United States.

Yet another day that celebrates the most popular alcoholic drink in the world, far more popular than the second, wine, and the third most popular drink after water and tea, and does water really count? It is also one of the oldest drinks in the world, dating back over 13,000 years.

Beer is made by brewing different types of cereal grains, with malted barley being the most common, though there are many other types used and the most popular type can vary by country. Beer, as an alcoholic drink, has many social uses, from a friendly pint down the pub to entire festivals. Of course, being alcoholic, it can also have negative effects, so is best consumed in moderation.

Beer can come in a wide range of flavours, colours and strengths, even though the pale yellow variety, typically lager, is one of the most common.
