According to google, this was on a site from Iceland:

Beer Day (March 1st) - National Beer Day celebrates a 75 year long prohibition of beer which ended on March 1st, 1989. Highly festive celebrations are held at pubs, restaurants, and clubs all around Iceland, as now Icelanders are one of the world's leading beer drinkers. [/FONT]
There also seems to be a day for George:
National Corndog Day is a celebration of basketball, the
corn dog, tater tots, and American beer that occurs in March of every year on the first Saturday of the
NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship. National Corndog Day 2009 took place on Saturday, March 21st, 2009.
National Corndog Day was inaugurated in 1992 in
Corvallis, Oregon by high-school students Brady Sahnow and Henry Otley. The first celebration was informal and involved simply corndogs and basketball. In subsequent years, National Corndog day was expanded to include tater tots and beer and gradually spread to other cities. The celebration currently is sponsored by
Foster Farms, a
Livingston, California-based poultry producer, and
PBR, a
US Midwest-based beer company, and
Jones Soda. Operations for National Corndog Day currently are governed by a board of directors consisting of select event hosts (or "city captains") based in various cities across the United States.
By 2007, parties celebrating National Corndog Day occurred at 113 locations in more than 30 U.S. states, the
District of Columbia and
Australia. In 2008 National Corndog Day exploded, expanding to nearly 5000 parties.on five
continents, including one at
McMurdo Station in
Antarctica. In 2009 participation fell back to the trend line from the 2008 peak, with nearly 400 parties around the country on March 21, 2009.
George just stopped by with a dozen wonderful doughnuts from Long's...they didn't last Long.
Is there a national beer day?
