Stone Brewing
One of America's most celebrated craft brewing companies, Stone Brewing, turns 21 this month.
While this Southern California success story has spread its wings and expanded to places like Richmond, Virginia and Berlin, Germany, International Beer Day calls for a visit to the sunny Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens in Escondido, California.
Guests can choose from three dozen brews on tap and relax inside or out thanks to a one-acre organic beer garden. Try one of Stone's signature IPAs and pair it with something delicious from the Bistro's eclectic All Day Menu.
The Brewhouse Inn & Suites
This 90-room hotel in Milwaukee, Wisconsin is the ideal accommodation for any brew enthusiast on International Beer Day.
After all, the front desk is comprised of more than 1,500 beer bottles and a stained glass window pays homage to the patron saint of beer brewing, King Gambrinus. Most importantly, guests are just steps away from Jackson's Blue Ribbon Pub, where an assortment of suds awaits.
Brew Republic Bierwerks
Woodbridge, Virginia's Brew Republic Bierwerks is celebrating International Beer Day with $1 beers and free pint glasses.
The 11-hour celebration kicks off at noon Friday and will feature an hour of $1 craft beers followed by another hour of $2 brews.
At the conclusion of Happy Hour at 7 p.m., Brew Republic Bierwerks will deliver a toast to the whole planet and let guests keep their glass as a souvenir.
