It is the drink of gods, as the Vikings would put it. The Germans would agree. From our latest survey, the Indians are not far behind either. Since 2007, beer has been celebrated across the world through International Beer Day on the first Friday of every August. It was first established in 2007 by Jesse Avshalomov, Evan Hamilton, Aaron Araki, and Richard Hernandez. The day is dedicated to appreciating and enjoying beer as one of the oldest and most widely consumed alcoholic beverages in the world.

The objectives of International Beer Day are to gather people from all walks of life to enjoy the choicest craft beers, unite cultures, celebrate brewers and explore the diverse beer varieties. To ring in the occasion, we spoke to the makers of classic beers at Budweiser, Corona, Hoegaarden – Ab InBev, who share with us three easy recipes to whip up beer cocktails in no time.
