August 4 marks International Beer Day, a made-up holiday for beer lovers to toast the breweries and pubs that provide the beverage to the masses. Created in 2008, International Beer Day takes place on the first Friday of every August so that people can “rejoice in the greatness of beer,” according to the holiday’s website.
Whether you prefer IPAs, sour beers or lagers, there’s a beer for everyone to enjoy this Friday. Check out three suggestions for beers brewed internationally below:
