Happy International Beer Day! The 2024 edition couldn't have come at a better time, as it seems we all need some downtime and the chance to throw back a few drinks. Celebrations are underway from Charlotte to Cincinnati, and across the globe.

Celebrated annually on the first Friday of August since 2013, International Beer Day has its roots in Santa Cruz, California. Jesse Avshalomov told UPI that he got the ball rolling on making it an annual thing in 2008 by contacting a ton of bars. And it stuck, not surprisingly. The holiday was originally held on August 5, but it was shifted to the month's 1st Friday, and who can argue with that? As soon as the clock strikes 5 o'clock, or maybe earlier – it's 5 o'clock somewhere – you can bet the beer will be flowing nationwide, and for that matter worldwide.

As the official International Beer Day website states, "Everything tastes better with beer." So whether you plan to go out or simply have a beer at home, get your taste buds ready. And get inspired with this great beer-related content from our community so that you can celebrate in style – and impress a friend with some fast facts:

For the college crowd, here's a different perspective. What if beers were tied to college majors? Business is to Budweiser, as Communications it to Bud Light. And we have plenty more beers as college majors for you.

Feeling inspired yet? Hopefully these have your creative juices flowing and you're ready to celebrate International Beer Day in style – with a beer in hand of course.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
