History of National Lager Day and How to Celebrate/ Observe It
National Lager Day is celebrated annually on October 9th. The day commemorates the anniversary of the first lager beer being brewed in the United States. Lager is a type of beer that is brewed using bottom-fermenting yeast and is typically lighter in color and flavor than other types of beer.
Lager was first introduced to the US in the early 1800s by German immigrants. These immigrants brought with them the knowledge and expertise needed to brew this type of beer. Lager quickly became popular in the US, especially in the Midwest where there was a large population of German immigrants.
By the mid-1800s, lager was the most popular type of beer in the US. This popularity continued into the early 20th century. However, Prohibition (the nationwide ban on alcohol) in the 1920s put a halt to the brewing of lager in the US.
It wasn’t until the late 1930s that lager started to be brewed again in the US. Since then, it has become one of the most popular types of beer in the country. Today, there are many different brands and styles of lager available for people to enjoy.
So, grab a cold one and celebrate National Lager Day on October 9th!
