The first national day in celebration of beer is to be held on Monday 15th June – Beer Day Britain.  This date has been chosen because of the 800th anniversary of The Magna Carter which mentions beer in article 35 of the charter:

“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’.”

A nationwide ‘cheers to beer’ is being organised.  It is hoped people will go to pubs all around the country and simultaneously raise a glass of ale at 12.15pm on 15th June.  The trend on Twitter is #CheersBDB.

The brewery is planning something special for the day – details to follow soon.

Beer Sommelier and author Jane Peyton came up with the idea for Beer Day Britain which has the backing of major industry organisations like Britain’s Beer Alliance, British Beer and Pub Association and the Society of Independent Brewers.  CAMRA is also rallying members to support the day.

The aim of the event is to raise the profile of beer as Britain’s national drink, to make people proud of British beer, pubs and brewing heritage and simply to just enjoy beer.

Cheers to Beer everyone.  Let’s celebrate.

Love Beer, Love Brentwood
