International Beer Day: 10 Must-Have Items for a Serious Celebration

The 15^th International Beer Day takes place on Friday 5th August, 2022. We’ve got everything you could possibly want for a celebration you’ll never forget – until Saturday! Check out this list of International Beer Day must-haves.

Ancient Babylonians took the brewing of beer very seriously. If the brewer produced a bad batch, he was drowned in it. We suggest you approach the big day with a similarly uncompromising attitude. Only the best is good enough. And, with our awesome International Beer Day goodies, you can get down to some serious celebrating.

10 Beer Essentials for an Amazing International Beer Day

Sit back, make yourself comfortable and peruse everything you might need for the big day.

1. Fizzics DraftPour Home Beer Tap

Fizzics DraftPour Home Beer Tap

One of the purposes of International Beer Day is to celebrate the bartenders in every corner of the globe. Here’s your chance to pass yourself off as a heroic beer dispenser by pouring draft beer from a can or bottle.

The DraftPour Home Beer Tap uses patented Micro-Foam technology to enhance flavour, aroma and mouth feel. All you have to do is stick the beer in, close it, pour from the tap, and don’t tell anyone there’s a bottle or can inside!

2. Beer Pump

To portray yourself as a maestro bartender, make use of the thermoelectric cooling technology that comes with this Beer Pump. It will keep the beers flowing as cold as 2°C. Your guests will be stunned by how refreshing your pints taste, and how incredibly cool you are.

The dispenser uses 5L kegs, which are not included. To impress your guests, try it with our 5L Mini Keg Of Pale Golden Ale, and you might even get a tip.

3. Star Wars Stormtrooper Victory Thirst Aid Kit – Only at Menkind!

The kit comes with five Star Wars themed (space)craft beers – just enough to take the edge off a traumatic run-in with a Jedi. You also get a super cool craft ale glass, four Original Stormtrooper coasters, and a pack of beer snacks. Worth taking your helmet off for.

5. Beer Hawk Brewdog Gift Pack

Beer Hawk Brewdog Gift Pack

If you want to be a committed celebrator of International Beer Day, two things are absolutely indispensable. Forget about the peanuts, the dartboards and the pool tables. What you will absolutely need is beer and a glass. There’s just no getting round it.

The gift set of Beer Hawk craft beer contains four 330ml cans of Brewdog beer and a Beer Hawk branded beer glass. Requisite and all-important essentials for the big day.

6. Pump the Pints Dumbbell Beer Glass

Pump the Pints Dumbbell Beer Glass

Beer is made from healthy ingredients, including brewer's yeast, barley, malt and hops. It’s a good source of folate, niacin, magnesium and potassium. But some people would have you believe it’s not good for you. They obviously haven’t come across the Dumbbell Beer Glass.

It’s a pint glass shaped like a dumbbell. So there’s no need to feel bad about drinking beer all day and dodging the gym. Every time you lift this glass, you’re working out with the best of them.

7. Star Wars Stormtrooper Wall Mounted Bottle Opener

Star Wars Stormtrooper Wall Mounted Bottle Opener

Here’s the perfect gift for a budding Jedi - a Stormtrooper as a bottle opener. Imagine you’ve employed the ancient art of mind-melding to get the villainous solider to do your bidding. Or turn down the lights, approach it warily – with or without a light sabre – and force the Stormtrooper to pop your beer.

8. Beer And Beverage Tower

Would you like to combine beer drinking with art? Look no further than the Beer and Beverage Tower, a bar-inspired beer tap with a weighted base. The tower holds 2.6 litres of beer, and features an easy-freeze cooling rod inside to keep the beer cool while you work your way through it. As you admire its perfect design, you can practise the fine art of pouring a beer.

9.  Snaffling Pig Swigs & Snaffles Beer & Pork Crackling Gift Set

Snaffling Pig Swigs & Snaffles Gift Set

It’s no secret that drinking beer makes you hungry. There’s often a lot of talking to be done that gives your jaws a lot of exercise, and then there’s all the lifting of the glass, lowering it and then lifting it again. As well as three cans of beer, this gift box contains three packs of pork crackling to keep your energy up.

10. LED Beer Bulb with Screw Thread
