*National Lobster Day was moved to September 25th in 2015 by an act of the U.S. Senate. The resolution was introduced by Maine Senators Susan Collins and Angus King, after no one could find any official approval of the National Lobster Day celebrated on June 15th. However, the old National Lobster Day, June 15th, is still being widely celebrated today. Keep the old and the new, we say. Here’s more information.
†Beer Holidays: In addition to Drink Beer Day on September 28th (also called National Drink A Beer Day), there are American Beer Day on October 27th National Beer Day on April 7th National Bock Beer Day on May 3rd National Homebrew Day May on the first Saturday in May American Craft Beer Week, the third week in May American Beer Month, July National IPA Day on the first Thursday of August International Beer Day, the first Friday of August
