History

International Beer and Pizza Day was founded in 2016 and brings together two favorites that are always a hit at any gathering. Just put out the food, snap a few photos, and send them to your friends—you’ll have company in no time!

Beer is one of the oldest beverages, with records of its consumption dating back to 5000 BC in Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. During the Middle Ages, brewing beer was considered an art form, with knowledge passed down through generations. By the end of this era, beer production had spread widely and even became an export industry.

The origins of pizza can be traced to Ancient Egypt and Rome, though the modern version was created in Italy around 600 BC. Originally a food for the lower classes, pizza quickly spread and became popular among all walks of life around the world.
