Cheers to Beer

Beer has long held a special place in the hearts of the British people. Its history intertwines with the tapestry of the nation itself.
From the ancient times when alewives brewed in communal spaces to the advent of commercial breweries during the Industrial Revolution, beer has evolved alongside the changing tastes and demands of the people. From the milds and bitters to the stouts and IPAs, the UK boasts a rich brewing heritage that continues to captivate beer enthusiasts both locally and internationally.
It has served as a social lubricant, a source of inspiration for poets and writers and a symbol of British conviviality.

The Origin of Beer Day Britain

Beer Day Britain was created in 2015 by Jane Peyton (beer sommelier and writer ), alongside brewers Sara Barton and Sophie de Ronde.
The cornerstone of Beer Day Britain is the National Cheers To Beer, a momentous occasion where, at 7 pm, people from all walks of life come together to raise their glasses in unison and sing the Cheers To Beer anthem, which is co-written by Jane Peyton herself.

Magna Carta and the Art of Ale

The origins of the historical motivation and choice of date for Beer Day Britain go all the way back to a document of immense historical significance which was the Magna Carta.
Sealed on June 15th, 1215, this historic charter is said to have laid the foundation for English law and democracy.
Interestingly, buried within clause 35 of the Magna Carta lies a surprising mention of ale. It stipulates that there would be a single standardized measure for wine, ale and corn throughout the kingdom which was to be called: ‘the London quarter’.
With the mention of ale as a crucial aspect of the nation’s commerce and enjoyment, beer became intertwined with the very fabric of British life.
