According to the tourist board website, Iceland banned beer for 75 long years. When they decided to finally let beer back into the country, the people of Iceland celebrated in a big way with National Beer Day on March 1, 1989. If you’re thinking about visiting Iceland and you love beer, the week of March 1st would be a good week to book your visit. The tourist board says that things are a bit wild in the evening on this holiday, so you know you won’t have a boring trip!
Can’t visit Iceland this year? Don’t let that stop you. Throw a party for a bunch of your friends, complete with a beer tasting event and tons of great food.
