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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
