BEER DAY BRITAIN
June 15th • Raise a Pint to History!
British Sunset Shandy Cocktail Recipe
Beer Day Britain is celebrated annually on June 15th, commemorating the historic signing of the Magna Carta in 1215 at Runnymede.
One often-overlooked clause in the Magna Carta established a standard measure for ale, ensuring consistency and fairness in trade throughout England.
Just one clause later, the document addressed rights and freedoms that would eventually help shape modern concepts of liberty and democracy.
That's right—beer and civil liberties are neighbors in one of history's most important documents!
