Happy Beer Day Iceland

Post by mr x » Thu Mar 01, 2012 6:27 pm

Yet Another Reason to Love Iceland

March first is Beer Day every year in Iceland. That's right, a whole day dedicated to the world's favorite beverage. This celebrated event began on March 1st, 1989, when a 75-year-long prohibition of beer was lifted. Pubs, restaurants, and clubs all around Reykjavik are especially wild this night. No word yet on plans to make March 2nd National Aspirin Day.



A Bar Served On the Rocks

Where else but in Iceland can you find a permanent ice bar? Right in the heart of Reykjavik is Kaffi Reykjavik Ice Bar. The interior is kept at 23 degrees F all year-round. All of the interior fittings, including the glasses, are made of pure, clear ice from the glaciers of Iceland. The Ice bar has capacity of 50 people and is open to all. Group bookings can be made by calling 354 552 3030
At Alexander Keith's we follow the recipes first developed by the great brewmaster to the absolute letter. :wtf:

I was going to post this myself :-) And my first thought was that it was a reason to love Iceland (I don't know about "another"...), but it celebrates the end of prohibition in 1989! Even Nova Scotia is not that backwards.
