What is National Beer Day and When it is Celebrated?

National Beer Day was created by the beer sommelier, drinks educator and writer, Jane Peyton. It took place for the first time on the day of June 15^th ,2015. The date was chosen because that day the Magna Carta was sealed in 1215 and ale is mentioned in Clause 35 of that seminal document. The main focus of the day is the National Cheers to Beer moment which takes place at 7 pm on the 15^th June where people sing a beer anthem which was written by Jane Peyton. Laguna Restaurant is proud to support the celebration of National Beer Day. As one of the finest Indian restaurants in London, we stock a fine range of wines and beers to accompany the best Asian cuisine from one of the premier Indian food caterers in London.
