History Behind beer
The process of brewing beer and crafting beer takes years of training and sip of experience in the industry
while the various flavors and methods are forever evolving. To become the best brewmaster may take
years to develop the expertise but one important requirement to be a brewmaster is the love of beer!
Beer is one of the oldest beverages humanity has ever produced and dates to the 5th millennium BC in
Iran, as ancients were drinking beer upon its discovery. Currently, society is crazy about beer due to its
taste, the way it makes people feel, and is normally used for celebratory gatherings.
Ideas on how to Celebrate
What another way to celebrate National Beer Lover’s Day than to have a beer or lager with your friends, no
matter the occasion. Another way you celebrate is by attending a local beer tasting at a specialty brewery.
The usual bar hopping at your local pubs and taverns are always a good time as well. If you don’t feel like
drinking beer, you can cook with it as well with many kinds of food recipes such as Maria Liberati’s Penne
Pasta with beer!

Beer lovers raise your glasses and make it a good year for BEER!
