It is supported by the British Beer and Pub Association, the Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA), and the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA). Origin The date was chosen because 15 June is also the date that Magna Carta was sealed in 1215 and ale is mentioned in clause 35 of Magna Carta, which states: :''Let there be throughout our kingdom a single measure for wine and a single measure for ale and a single measure for corn, namely 'the London quarter''' Beer Day Britain was instigated by beer sommelier, writer and drinks educator Jane Peyton, alongside brewers Sara Barton and Sophie de Ronde.

Beer Day (Iceland)
In Iceland, Beer Day () is celebrated every year on March 1, honoring the elimination of the 74-year prohibition of beer. Prohibition lasted from January 1, 1915 to March 1, 1989. Origin In a 1908 referendum, Icelanders voted in favor of a ban on all alcoholic drinks, going into effect January 1, 1915. In 1921, the ban was partially lifted after Spain refused to buy Iceland's main export, fish, unless Iceland bought Spanish wines; then lifted further after a national referendum in 1935 came out in favor of legalizing spirits. Strong beer (with an alcohol content of 2.25% or more) was not included in the 1935 vote in order to please the temperance lobby—which argued that because beer is cheaper than spirits, it would lead to more depravity. As international travel brought Icelanders back in touch with beer, bills to legalize it were regularly moved in parliament, but inevitably were shot down on technical grounds. Prohibition lost more support in 1985, when the Minister of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Then head of the Anti-Saloon League, Wayne Wheeler, drafted an enforcement act which was sponsored by Andrew Volstead; the National Prohibition Act, which came to be known as the Volstead Act, defined intoxicating liquors as any containing more than 0.5% alcohol and made ...

Green Beer Day
Green Beer Day (GBD) is an unofficial day-long party near the Miami University campus, where celebrants drink beer dyed green with artificial coloring or natural processes. The tradition was started by bar owners in Oxford, Ohio, and is celebrated annually on the Thursday before Miami University's spring break. Green Beer Day started in the early 1980s after a change in Miami University's academic calendar caused St. Patrick's Day to fall during spring break when students were gone. Local bar owners tried various names for their new day of drinking (including "Wild Irish Fun" in 1981) before settling on the name "Green Beer Day" in 1982. Claims that Green Beer Day began in 1952 are wrong. Green beer was consumed in Oxford on St. Patrick's Day (March 17) prior to the university calendar change just as it was all over the country. Green Beer Day has been called Miami University's "biggest tradition" although it is not sanctioned by the university. Tradition Students begin to drink a ...
