On March 1 in Iceland - Bjórdagurinn, the Day of beer is celebrated. The most important thing that is supposed on this day is to drink it exactly as much as you can.
The date of the festival is not accidental - on this day they mark the adoption of the law on strong beer, which has been operating in Iceland since 1989. This act abolished the "dry law", which was in force in the country for 75 years. The beer day is celebrated in all bars and restaurants. In addition, a beer festival is held, especially active participants of which are students who drink a foamy drink in the noisiest Reykjavik marrows, but anyone can join.
Courgettes are open until the morning, and it's only for the fact that there was something to pay off, since the price of beer in Iceland, frankly, is rather big. And to be more precise, the prices are one of the highest in the world (more than 10 euro a pint in a bar - in 2008). Yes, however, it is not necessary to sit in the pub all the first day of March, you can take part in a variety of festive programs, from snowmobile races to snow sculptures.
