International Beer Day (IBD) is a celebration on the first Friday of every August founded in 2007 in Santa Cruz, California.
The founders of the Beer Day had three reasons that they declared for starting the day, and they are as follows:
- To gather with friends and enjoy the taste of beer.
- To celebrate those responsible for brewing and serving cocktail.
- To unite the world under the banner of beer, by celebrating the beers of all nations together on a single day.
Since its inception, International Beer Day has grown from a small localized event in the western United States into a worldwide celebration spanning 207 cities, 80 countries, and 6 continents.
In celebration of International Beer Day, here are 3 Beer Cocktails you can make in minutes.

A nice cold refreshing drink in the afternoon or as the sun is getting ready to set. Simple to make requiring no preparation time

Lemonade
Lime Slices
A Mint Sprig
Directions:
Take a Glass. Drop a slice or two of lime. Fill 2/3 of the glass with chilled beer. Top it up with chilled Lemonade. Garnish with a leaf or two of mint.
The taste of beer is now mixed with Lemonade and lime and a hint of mint. Served chilled it is a very refreshing drink for a hot day.
