International Beer Day

Today is a the day to celebrate and enjoy the world's most popular alcoholic drink. 

Raise a glass of beer today to toast both breweries and bartenders. It is truly a global celebration, enjoyed by people over 50 countries around the world.

Man, and woman of course, have enjoyed beer since about 6,000 B.C. Ancient civilizations even referred to it as a food staple. There are two categories of beer: Lager and Ale, and thankfully hundreds, if not thousands of varieties. Why there's a beer variety for almost any and all discriminating drinkers. The exponential growth of small, local micro-breweries, has resulted in a wide range of new and exciting varieties.

Did you know ? that beer was invented to make unclean water more palatable !

The Ballad of a Drinker 

Sitting in a bar

On Saturday morning

It's not yet 12

Is that a warning?

I'm drinking coffee

But soon something stronger

There's a gnawing in my gut

An alcoholic hunger

Scattered all around

are people just Like me

Sad, lonely souls

Drowning in a booze-filled sea

Some are eating breakfast

It disguises their craving

Legitimising existence

It's only their face-saving

Young people made old

By the bottle

Looking to meet their maker

And get there at full throttle

So cheers to you all

My comrades in drink

Raise all our glasses

Give A bloodshot wink
