There’s World Chocolate Day, World Burger Day, and even International Picnic Day – but did you know that beer has its own special day too? With World Beer Day coming up (4 August, which also happens to be on a Friday this year!), we’ve put together a list of beer places you and your buds can hit to celebrate and enjoy a couple of pints to end the working week in style.
#1 The 1925 Brewing Co
Look forward to unique handcrafted beers at this beer bar, including a dark ale called Blk 622, pale ale The Yellow Van and a fruit beer called The General. Beer-inspired dishes are on offer, too; we like the Smoked Duck Paddle, which is smoked with beer wort and served with a sauce of berry compote, and pastas that are handmade using the same grains used in the brewing process.
