September 28 - National Drink Beer Day

 

Happy National Drink Beer Day! On September 28, today annually toasts that malty elixir. Just as the Oktoberfest season comes to an end, the day reminds us to enjoy the world’s most popular adult beverage. 

Beer lovers have more selection than ever before in the ale and lager market. An explosion in the craft beer industry keeps the competition and the flavors robust, churning out new flavors seasonally.  

Beer connoisseurs quench their thirst with flavors drastically different from their grandfather’s beers.  

Root beer to raspberry, caramel, and hints of herbs all tickle the palate when it comes to artisanal beers. 

 

When is National Beer Day? 

However, you don’t have to drink a special brew to celebrate the day. Drink your favorite stand by or branch out – whichever you prefer.  

 
Around the country, and from around the world, a wide assortment of beers offers plenty of ways to celebrate. 

Whether you call your mug full of brew a barley pop or cerveza, the day is worth celebrating. 

 

HOW TO OBSERVE 

 
The best way to celebrate is by enjoying a glass of beer. As always, celebrations are better when surrounded by others who celebrate with you.  

With that said, invite friends, family, coworkers, too. Join them at a local pub or tavern. Or invite them to your home. 

Another way to celebrate includes recognizing your servers, bartenders and brewers. Celebrate them with a toast as you take your first frothy sip.

September 28 - National Good Neighbor Day

 

Happy National Good Neighbor Day! On September 28, this day creates an opportunity for neighbors to get to know each other better. This day also acknowledges and celebrates the importance of a good neighbor. 

It is a blessing to have a good neighbor, but it is even a greater thing to BE a good neighbor. Good neighbors often become friends. They watch out for each other, lend a helping hand, and are there for advice when asked.   

Neighbors offer that cup of sugar when we are short, collect our mail when we are on vacation, watch our homes, and sometimes watch our children and our pets. 

Simply put, being a good neighbor makes good neighbors and develops lifelong friendships. 

HOW TO OBSERVE 

Being a good neighbor isn’t all that difficult. Starting with kindness is always the first step. 

• • Offer a kind word. Even a small compliment goes a long way to creating a bond or breaking down barriers. 

• • Bring extra bounty from your garden or baked goods. 

• • Invite them to join an informal celebration in your home. 

• • Introduce them to your pets or offer a gardening tip. 

• • Ask who they recommend for a service such as taxes, painting, or car care. You will earn their respect, especially if the question is something, they have first-hand experience with.

HISTORY 

In the early 1970s, Becky Mattson of Lakeside, Montana created National Good Neighbor Day.  

In 1978, 39th U.S. President Jimmy Carter issued Proclamation 4601: 

“As our Nation struggles to build friendship among the peoples of this world, we are mindful that the noblest human concern is concern for others. Understanding, love and respect build cohesive families and communities.  

The same bonds cement our Nation and the nations of the world. For most of us, this sense of community is nurtured and expressed in our neighborhoods where we give each other an opportunity to share and feel part of a larger family…  

I call upon the people of the United States and interested groups and organizations to observe such day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.” 

In 2003, the date changed from the fourth Sunday in September to an annual observance on September 28. 

How can you be a good neighbor today?
