International Beer Day celebrates the taste of beer and the achievements of brewers.
Beer is an ancient alcoholic beverage brewed primarily from malted barley, hops, yeast, and water, although it can be brewed from other grains such as corn, wheat, and rice. Records of beer date back to 4000 BC, making it one of the oldest alcoholic beverages in the world.
The three stated goals of International Beer Day are to appreciate brewers, enjoy the taste of all beers from around the world, and unite the world under the banner of beer. Founded in 2007 by the California Brewers Association, International Beer Day has become an international event celebrated in more than 50 countries around the world.
A multicultural drink
Beer is an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting the sugars found in cereal grains such as wheat or barley. Many types of beer around the world are brewed using hops, herbs or fruits that add flavor to the drink.
Believed to be the oldest drink in the world and still consumed today, beer has been drunk by almost every culture in the world throughout human history. Today, beer is the third most consumed beverage in the world after water and tea.

So drag your friends to celebrate at TAOR Karpaty Resort & Spa**** or invite them over to your home, but make sure you have some camaraderie with drinks.
Give the gift of beer
It is well known that beer tastes better when someone else buys it, so on International Beer Day it has become a tradition to buy beer for your friends! When offering beer, don’t forget to say the traditional words for giving beer:
“I bring you a beer as a gift.”
Gifting beer to your friends and receiving a gift of beer in return will make everyone’s beer taste much better.

Thank your brewer, thank your bartender
Thousands of men and women around the world have dedicated their lives to providing us with the vast variety of beer we have, and on International Beer Day it’s important to let these people know we appreciate them. So write a note, leave a tip, smile at them, or just say thank you, but make sure your brewers and bartenders know you love them.
