Hey there, beer lovers and aficionados! Guess what? May 1st is not just for Maypoles and May Day celebrations—it is also National Rotate Your Beer Day! Yes, you heard that right. A whole day dedicated to ensuring that every beer in your fridge gets its moment in the spotlight. Let us dive into what this day is all about and how you can participate in the frothy festivities.
What is National Rotate Your Beer Day?
National Rotate Your Beer Day was created by Superior Beverage group in 2019. This day is all about ensuring that you enjoy your beer at its peak freshness and flavor. The idea is to rotate the beers in your fridge, moving the older ones to the front and placing the newer ones at the back. This simple act helps to ensure that you are drinking your beers in the order they were purchased, which means you are enjoying them when they are at their best.
Why Rotate Your Beer?
You might be wondering, “Why do I need to rotate my beer? It’s not like it’s a carton of milk.” Well, my friends, beer is a perishable product, and its flavor can change over time, especially if it is exposed to light and temperature fluctuations. By rotating your beer, you are helping to ensure that you are savoring every sip of that liquid gold in its optimal condition.
