International Beer Day 2020 Deals from Miller Lite, Peroni and More

Today (August 7, 2020) is International Beer Day—24 hours dedicated to the refreshing alcoholic beverage, resulting in discounts and freebies across the country.

Beer has been around since ancient Egyptian times. The process to create the drink usually takes the form of turning flour into mashed dough and then fermenting it. The process hasn't altered much since 2000 BC.

It's clear that Americans love the cool taste of beer, with the nation seeing a boom in breweries, according to the below graphic provided by Statista. In 2019, there were over 8,300 breweries in the country, compared to 103 in 1976.

To help Americans get into the spirit of International Beer Day—in case we needed an excuse—Newsweek has concocted a list of freebies and discounts to make the day go smoother.
