\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Today is right up there with International Bacon Day<\/a> in terms of obscure yet delicious holidays.<\/p>\n

International Beer Day<\/a> (unrelated to the\u00a0National Beer Drinking Song<\/a>) was started by some guys in Santa Cruz way back in 2007 and is slowly ebbing out beyond the Yay Area. It’s an August 5th tradition to, well, drink beer. Like you need another excuse.<\/p>\n

Supposedly, the proper way to greet someone today is by saying “I bring you the gift of beer<\/em>“. For which one cannot refuse. Not a bad tradition to start.<\/p>\n
