Beer Day - March 1st

National Beer Day celebrates a 75 year long prohibition of beer which ended on March 1st, 1989. Highly festive celebrations are held at  pubs, restaurants, and clubs all around Iceland, as now Icelanders are one of the world's leading beer drinkers. Making up for lost time, the citizens of Reykjavik indulge in a beer spree on the same day each year. A (bar crawl is a popular way of getting to know the various bars and beers in this city. Suggestions that 2 March should be declared National Hangover Day have apparently been strongly resisted. Icelandic beers include Viking Gylltur, a strong lager with a bitter taste, Viking Dimmur, Sterkur, Thule and Ice Bjor
