March 1st Is Beer Day in Iceland

]]> SONY DSC 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.

Beer Day in Iceland

]]> Beer in Iceland

Thanks to Chris over at “Brew Ha Ha” for reminding us that March 1 is Beer Day in Iceland. Although not particulary well known in the United States, Iceland is home to a number of breweries. Among them are Egils, Viking, Thule, and Kaldi. Not bad for a country where beer was banned until March 1, 1989.
