Two Sessions ago I suggested that we set aside a day to honor the men and women who brew beer. I further suggested that July 18 be the day, because it is St. Arnold’s Feast Day, one of the most prominent patron saints of brewing. I’ve now set up a website (brewersday.org) and with the help of a graphics designer friend (thanks Ken), created some graphics, buttons and banners, to help promote the holiday. Take a look at the website and let me know what you think of it and, of course, about the holiday itself. Any constructive suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
With just over a month to go until the first International Brewers Day, I hope you’ll join me on July 18 in raising a toast to all the men and women who make the great beer we all love.
