International Beer Day falls on the first Friday in August. In 2026 that was Friday 7 August, so this page is now an evergreen guide to marking the day rather than an invitation tied to the wrong date.
When is International Beer Day?
The organisers define it as the first Friday of August. Check the official International Beer Day site for the date in the year you are planning.
Scottish and Irish taps
Tennent’s and McEwan’s provide the Scottish side of the line-up, with Guinness, Kilkenny and Magners among the Irish choices. See the current menu rather than assuming every historical tap remains unchanged.
Happy Hour
International Beer Day may or may not coincide with a particular offer. Happy Hour runs 4–6pm daily. Monday features Guinness; Tuesday Tennent’s Lager; Wednesday Heineken; Thursday $9 pints of Invergordon mid-strength lager; Friday, Saturday and Sunday $10 pints of Invergordon Lager. Check the full Happy Hour rotation for the daily offer.
Make it a catch-up
Bring a friend, book a table if needed, or walk in. There is no unadvertised live music attached to the day; use the events calendar for anything specifically scheduled.
