Here’s are some great ways to celebrate International Beer Day 2016 :

1. Drink Good Beer with Good Friends

If you were thinking about spending International Beer Day by yourself, think again! Drinking beer may be the most important part of celebrating International Beer Day, but beer goes best with great fellowship and a little conversation. So invite your friends out to celebrate or invite them into your home, but make sure you have some camaraderie to go with your brews.

Cheers to Friends!

Check your local brewery or pub. They are probably celebrating IBD, possibly with special beer releases or other events.
