Today Is National American Beer Day

Raise your glasses America, today is National American Beer Day. This is not to be confused with National Beer Day, which is April 7th. Beer is the most popular alcoholic drink in the United States, where according to nationaldaycalender.com over 2,500 breweries produce more than 6 billion gallons annually.

Breweries across America include large, well-known brands, regional beers, and increasingly popular craft breweries.

American beer is produced in a variety of styles, but the most popular is a pale lager. Here's a Fun fact: Americans drink more than 50 billion pints of beer each year—enough to fill 1 out of every 25 residential in-ground pools in the U.S.! It’s been a busy month for beer drinkers…

Of course the end of September began Oktoberfest, followed by Octoberfest here in the United States.

Celebrate American Beer Day with a nice, cold pint of your favorite American beer.
