‎278 Celebrations, 138 Cities, 23 Countries, 1 Event: International Beer Day

It's the day before International Beer Day here in the US, and we thought we'd take a short pause to take stock of where our beloved beer celebration stands.

As of this moment, there are 276 known International Beer Day celebrations planned across 138 cities and 23 countries worldwide. And again, that's just celebrations we know about, its possible and even likely that that there are many more bars planning to celebrate who never got around to submitting their celebration to the IBD map.

The IBD Facebook Event has crossed the 180,000 Attending line and is headed for 200,000. Tweets with the hashtag #IntlBeerDay are really starting to pick up speed.  We're even getting so many emails we can barely keep up with them.

In short, International Beer Day 2011 is goin' great! It's going to be an amazing celebration this year and we're glad to have you aboard. Here's to Beer, its brewers, its servers, and its drinkers -- Cheers!
