The founders of the Beer Day had three declared reasons for the day, and are as follows:
朋友相聚，享受啤酒。
Gather with friends and enjoy the taste of beer.
向酿酒师和啤酒从业者致敬。
Celebrate those responsible for brewing and serving beer.
汇集世界各国啤酒，以啤酒的名义凝聚世界。

庆祝国际啤酒日的最好方式，就是举起你手中的酒杯、酒瓶或啤酒罐子，向酿酒工匠们致敬。无论你是在酒吧、俱乐部还是在野餐，喝上一两杯啤酒都是很容易的。
However, many folks agree, just raise your glass, tankard, bottle or can and toast those that make the amazing brew possible. Whether it is at a bar, club, pub, or even just a cook-out, it is easy enough to find a place to get a brew or two.
大多数国际啤酒日庆祝活动主办方都会推出新款或限量款啤酒，举行丰富多彩的各种活动，以及奖品为啤酒设备的竞赛。请尽情享受并分享啤酒的美妙吧。尝尝试那些与平日不同风格的啤酒，没准它们就会打开你通往新世界的大门！
Most places that hold events do so by tapping new, or in some cases rare, beers, hosting a happy hour that lasts all day, trivia events, and many games with prizes involving beer gear. Enjoy yourself, responsibly, and share the wonders of beer with those around you. Maybe hoist up a different type of beer than your usual fare, to expand your horizons.
即使是那些你从没喝过的陌生啤酒，也尝尝鲜吧。酿酒师们辛勤劳作，为大家带来美味啤酒。嗯，打满一杯啤酒，给上酒保一点儿小费，举起啤酒杯，尽情享受国际啤酒日的欢乐吧！
Even if it is just something you have never tried before, give it that much at least. Sometime, somewhere, a brewer spent time to get that beer right, and to market it to the public. So hoist your tankard, tap the kegs, tip the staff and enjoy the refreshment of Beer Day!
