If beer is your drink of choice, then Apr. 7 is your day. The authors of these quotes about beer for National Beer Day will definitely be celebrating today, and you can too. No matter what type of brew is your go-to, make sure you sling a couple back this early April day. After all, it's not every day of the year that you have an excuse to drink beer solely for the sake of celebrating it as a beverage.
Compared to wine and hard liquors, beer is the ultimate refreshment. It's fizzy, it's chilled, and it's chuggable. There's nothing like cracking open a bottle of Bud after a long, hard week at the office, and there are also few things that are quite as American as it. True, the Germans may have Oktoberfest, but when it comes to America's favorite drink, you can bet it's beer.
I hope your Friday is filled with pint after pint of ales, lagers, stouts, pilsners, porters, and I.P.A.s — all in moderation, of course. The good news is, beer always seems to have the easiest hangover, so if you do get a little wild, hopefully you won't regret it the next morning. Now kick off your shoes and knock back a tall one. Cheers!
