Happy Local Beer Day

Happy local beer day! February 24 is Local Beer Day, a day brewed-up by James Smith, founder of online beer portal The Crafty Pint. The day represents a chance for all beer-loving Australians to support their local brewers, breweries and beer shops.

Good times aside, Local Beer Day acknowledges the tough times being faced by many independent Australian brewers and the hospitality industry as a whole.

The survival of your favourite local beer is literally in your hands, so take this as permission to down tools, head out and find a locally made frothy to mark this special day in the Australian beer calendar.

Cheers!
