04/08/2022

Beer, the incomparable “nectar of the gods”, is one of the sparkling beverages that captivates many of us to refresh the hottest summer afternoons with a good company of friends. Beer can be considered one of the most precious cultural legacies of humanity, since time immemorial in prehistory, even since the discovery of Hammurabi’s code (1795 BC), its delicious presence has accompanied our ancestors and will accompany our descendants. It is for this reason that on the first Friday of August, as a historical tribute, International Beer Day is celebrated at the world and Barcelona is no exception.

Origins of International Beer Day

Although in many countries, such as the German Oktoberfest and the Irish St Patrick’s Day, there are national days dedicated to beer. The international beer day was born in 2007 from the idea of a group of friends from Toronto (USA) who met annually to have a few beers annually.

Greater was the surprise when this initiative was shared at the level and was approved unanimously by associations of all kinds throughout the world. The objective of this recognition was none other than to have a special day to enjoy beer at the same time with people from all over the world regardless of distance, language or culture.

A day to celebrate the worship of the goddess of beer

Incredible as it may seem at first glance, there truly is a beer goddess. In Sumerian mythology there is a deity known as Ninkasi, a female entity to whom rituals were performed as a prayer and tribute.

Her name means “the lady who fills the mouth” and she was generally associated as the creator of the recipe for bubbling water (beer) that in the Enki myths was used as a medicine to quench thirst and sorrow.
