Brew Ha Ha: what’s all of the fuss about beer?

Happy Beer Day!

by Chris on March 1st, 2008

I don’t know much about Iceland, but according to the Iceland Tourist Board today is Beer Day! That’s a holiday I can get behind.

The Tourist Board reports as follows:

March first is Beer Day every year in Iceland. That’s right, a whole day dedicated to the world’s favorite beverage. This celebrated event began on March 1st, 1989, when a 75-year-long prohibition of beer was lifted. Pubs, restaurants, and clubs all around Reykjavik are especially wild this night. No word yet on plans to make March 2nd National Aspirin Day. Click here for more details.

So, let’s celebrate by hoisting an Icelandic beer. Good luck finding one, I’ll have to stick with something cold and delicious.
