My new holiday, International Brewers Day, will have its first observance this Friday, July 18. If you write about beer (or holidays) please consider writing about your favorite brewer on Friday, either as an interview, profile, bio or whatever you think appropriate. You can find out more information about how to participate at the website for International Brewers Day.

If you own or run a brewery, beer bar or restaurant, think about hosting an event to honor your brewer or a local brewer. If not this year, mark your calendars for next year, when hopefully I’ll make a more ardent push to get the holiday going.
