The first cheers rang out in 2015, thanks to Jane Peyton, Sara Barton, and Sophie de Ronde. These beer aficionados wanted to toast to Britain’s brewing success and its beloved beverage. Since then, June 15th has become a day marked by smiles, stories, and sips of beer.

The roots of Beer Day Britain reach deep into history, connecting to a clause in the Magna Carta of 1215. It’s a little-known fact that this landmark document, primarily about the rights of man, also nods to the importance of ale.
