Happy International Beer Day!
Here at myMallBox, we love people who are passionate about things. So many of our customers are enthusiastic about the things they love, whether it be makeup and beauty products, cards and collectables, electronics and entertainment, or even candles and scented wax!
The thing about about passionate people is they make things happen. Some people have even gone so far as to establish and promote special days to honor the things they care most about. Sometimes these celebrations become so popular they are recognized all across the globe! They range from silly and fun celebrations, like International Talk Like a Pirate Day, to serious and awareness-raising initiatives such as World Diabetes Day.
Somewhere in the middle (well, let’s face it, more on the silly and fun side) is International Beer Day, which is recognized on the first Friday of August! Some folks are definitely passionate about their favorite adult beverage, none more so than Beer Day founders Jesse Avshalomov and Evan Hamilton. In 2007, these Californians decided that there should be a day to recognize the undeniable importance of beer, and they convinced the owner of their local bar to promote their idea.
They made a website, set up some fun events, and had a great time.
Unexpectedly, they started receiving emails from all around the world. People from different countries and cultures shared their passion for beer, and by 2015 there were over 350 International Beer Day celebrations worldwide. The purpose of this day of celebrating all things beer is three-fold, according to the founders: first, to gather with friends and enjoy a frosty mug or two; second, to celebrate the brewers who make their favorite beverage and the servers who provide it, and third, to bring the world together by celebrating the beers of all nations and cultures.
This Friday, join Jesse and Evan in raising a glass, whether it’s a Moosehead in the Great White North, a Foster’s in the Outback, a Red Stripe in Jamaica, mon, or a Bud Light on your back porch in the old U.S. of A. So many things make us different, but simple celebrations like this bring us together and make us realize that we have a lot in common, too.
The message we should take away from this is not that beer is awesome (it is), but that we should follow our passions and work hard to make things happen. At myMallBox, our passion is making great products available to all consumers around the world. We might not be able to ship beer to your front door, but we can help you get your favorite beauty items, clothing brands, phones and electronics, books, and countless other fine products.
Tell us what you’re passionate about, and we’ll do our best to help you get the things you need to live your passions!
