Craft Beer Liberty
This being National Beer Day, one needs to be armed with just enough beer facts to stand out as a consummate expert on the subject and not just another drunk.
Essential facts like…
More than 50 Million People Are Drunk Right Now
“An estimated 0.7 percent of the world’s population is said drunk at any given time,” according to Arizona Daily Wildcat…And with today being National Beer Day, that’s probably a conservative estimate.
Two Out Of Three Americans Drink Beer Every Week!
According to a survey from National Today almost 69% of Americans drink 2 or more bottles of beer a week. That’s at least 104 beers per person per year. They also note that 5% of Americans reported drinking 21- 30+ bottles of beer weekly which is we think also a conservative number.
17% of Americans Drink A Beer Every Day
National Today also found that 1 in 3 Americans say they only indulge in a bottle of beer a week. But the good news is that 18% of American drink 5-9 bottles a week, while another 8% drink 10-15 bottles of beer every seven days
Hops And Marijuana Are Kissing Cousins

Light Is A Beer Killer
Light is beer’s enemy and a “great destroyer” of beer. It’s never been about temperature…. When hops are exposed to light, it’s spectrum of rays sends off free radicals and that’s what leads to that skunky taste you ignored back in college.
You think all those green and brown tinted beer bottle are just to class things up? You think craft beer’s progression to cans is an accident? Think again.
Beer Built One Of The “Seven Wonders Of The World”
Ancient Egyptians who built the Great Pyramids were paid with one gallon of beer daily.
And the fact that the pyramids are the only one of the “wonder of the world” still in existence is, according to the Smithsonian’s Patrick McGovern, ample testimony that beer fueled civilization.
