Beer is one of the world’s oldest and most-consumed beverages, ranking third among all beverages behind water and tea. When people reach for an alcoholic beverage, they’re more likely to sip a beer than a glass of wine or a cocktail. Sixty percent of adults consume alcoholic beverages, according to Gallup, with 39% drinking beer, 31% choosing wine and 27% preferring liquor.

On International Beer Day on August 5, places like sports bars, breweries, pubs and taverns can unite beer-lovers and celebrate those who brew and serve beer. Promotional products like pint glasses, bottle openers and coasters can add to the buzz surrounding International Beer Day.
