Beer Day in Iceland

It is celebrated in all bars and restaurants.March 1 in Iceland is Bjórdagurinn, Beer Day. The most important thing to drink on this day is to drink as much as you can contain.

The date of the festival is not at all random - this day marks the adoption of the law on strong beer, which has been in force in Iceland since 1989. This act abolished the Prohibition Act, which had been in force in the country for 75 years.

It is celebrated in all bars and restaurants. In addition, a beer festival is held, especially active participants of which are students drinking a foam drink in the noisiest zucchini of Reykjavik, but anyone can join.

Zucchini are open until the morning, and it is only a matter of having something to pay, since beer prices in Iceland, frankly, are not cheap. One of the highest in the world (more than 10 euros per pint in a bar - 2008)

Yes, however, and not necessarily the whole first day of March to sit in a pub, you can take part in a variety of festive programs, from racing on snowmobiles to creating snow sculptures made of snow.
