Beer Day in Iceland

by Sandy Mitchell on March 1st, 2008

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.

    Thanks for visiting, Stan.

    Tell us: what did you learn and why were they celebrating in Tennessee. Is there a big Icelandic community down there?
