Today is the international day of beer

Can you believe that I didn't know today is International Beer Day?!! I learned about it purely by coincidence, and now I want to know if you all already knew about this day and if there is a particular way to celebrate it. Although I imagine that the best way to celebrate Beer Day is by drinking beers, but I don't know if it's customary for friends to gift us beers or if today is the day we can drink until we forget our names.

Pueden creer que yo no sabía que hoy es el día internacional de la cerveza?!! Por pura casualidad me enteré y ahora quiero saber si ustedes ya sabían de este día y si hay una forma particular de celebrarlo. Aunque me imagino que la mejor forma de celebrar el día de la cerveza es tomando cervezas, pero no sé es si se acostumbra que los amigos nos regalen cervezas o hoy es el día en que podemos beber hasta que olvidemos nuestros nombres.

As often happens with things we like, I started drinking beer late. I was 22 years old and it was a boyfriend who told me to try it. And although I often had the opportunity to drink beer at home with family and friends, I had never been excited about it like I was that day when that boyfriend introduced me to the delightful pleasure of drinking beers.

Como nos ocurre muchas veces con las cosas que nos gustan, yo comencé a beber cerveza tarde. Tenía 22 añitos y fue un novio quien me dijo que las probara. Y aunque muchas veces tuve oportunidad de beber cerveza en casa con familiares y con amigos, nunca me había entusiasmado como aquel día que aquel novio me inició en el delicioso placer de beber cervezas.

I feel that beer is an elixir that is not for everyone. Not all palates are made to truly enjoy the particular taste of malt, to savor the aroma of hops, the fermentation of grains. Drinking a beer and not wanting more is like when you have a first date and don’t want a second: you really don’t like it.

Siento que la cerveza es un elíxir que no es para todo el mundo. No todos los paladares están hechos para disfrutar, verdaderamente, el particular sabor de malta, disfrutar el olor del lúpulo, de la fermentación de los cereales. Beber una cerveza y no quedar con ganas de más es como cuando tienes una primera cita y no quieres una segunda: verdaderamente no te gusta.

At some point in Venezuela, my country, young people could only drink beer. It was one of the most affordable liquors available in the liquor market. They were super cheap and could be found anywhere. And here in Venezuela, there are family homes, which are neither liquor stores nor supermarkets, where they sell beer.

En algún momento en Venezuela, mi país, los jóvenes solo podíamos tomar cervezas. Era uno de los licores más asequibles que había en el mercado licorero. Eran súper económicas y se encontraban en cualquier parte. Y es que aquí, en Venezuela, hay casas familiares, que no son licorerías ni supermercados, donde venden cervezas.

That has changed. Now drinking beers in Venezuela can be a luxury. A box of 36 beers can cost $22 at least. If a group of 4 people gets together to buy a box, each one should contribute $5.50, and in the market, there are rums that cost $2, $3, and $4. That is to say, they prefer to buy cheaper liquors that provide more.

Eso ha cambiado. Ahora beber cervezas en Venezuela puede ser un lujo. Una caja de 36 cervezas puede costar 22$, como mínimo. Si un grupo de 4 personas se reúne para comprar una caja, cada uno debería aportar 5,5$ y en el mercado hay rones de 2,3,4 dólares. Es decir, prefieren comprar licores más económicos y que rinden más.

The other thing is that for some time now, I don't know if in your countries, it has been said that drinking beer causes a "belly" or makes you gain weight. So, we find that most of the beers found in establishments are light and even non-alcoholic. For my taste, tasteless beers, without the "zing" of a real beer.

Lo otro es que, de un tiempo para acá, no sé si en vuestros países, se ha dicho que tomar cerveza genera "barriga" o engorda. Entonces, encontramos que la mayoría de las cervezas que se encuentras en los establecimientos son ligeras y hasta sin alcohol. Para mi gusto, cervezas insípidas, sin el "picante" de una verdadera cerveza.

Well, I didn't know that today was International Beer Day and with the way things are going, let's take advantage of it by drinking a delicious cold beer. Don't put off for tomorrow the beer you can drink today. Tomorrow you can buy others. Cheers!

En fin, no sabía que hoy era el día internacional de la cerveza y como van las cosas, aprovechemos su día bebiendo una deliciosa cerveza bien fría. No dejes para mañana la cerveza que te puedes tomar hoy. Mañana puedes comprar otras. Salud
