The American Beer industry is one of the fastest growing business in the United States. In fact, the U.S. ranks second in the world in both total beer consumption as well as beer production, second only to China. A survey in 2014 estimated that there are over 3000 breweries in the country that manufacture about 196 million barrels of beer every year. Rich History Beer production in the U.S. has a rich and varied history. Historical records show that Native American tribes were brewing beer using corn (maize) more before European settlers reached the shores of the country. Dutch and English settlers in the 17th century produced local brews that were consumed locally. Mass production of beer in the U.S. only began in the late 19th century, and beer quickly replaced other spirits as the alcoholic beverage of choice. Between 1920 and 1933, the years of prohibition, beer fell out of disfavor as alcohol was banned throughout the country. Today, in addition to the big beer manufacturers, the United States has seen a surge of craft breweries and microbreweries who make small batch artisanal beer. Different Styles While breweries across America make a number of different styles of beer, the most common kind available in the country is known as American style lager. It is a type of a pale lager that was inspired by the beer recipes brought to the U.S. by German immigrants. Other styles of beers include American Pale Ale, American style India Pale Ale and Belgian style ale. How to Celebrate? Celebrate the day by visiting your local bar and sampling some American beers. Remember, you don't have to be in the United States to celebrate this unofficial holiday. If you are a home brewer, why not try and brew some American style beers at home? Of course, don't forget to share with family and friends! Did You Know… …that home brewing has a long history in the United States? Both the first president of the country, George Washington, and the third president, Thomas Jefferson were home brewers. *** A blonde and a brunette worked in a factory.

We were unable to figure out what the unknown creators of this made-up holiday aim to accomplish, but we can only assume that it encourages people to go out during the day or night and howl at the Moon. Howl Like a Wolf The name of the holiday comes from the belief that wolves howl at the Moon. According to lore, on a full Moon night, wolves upturn their head towards the Moon and communicate with it by howling. Images of wolves with their heads turned towards the sky, howling with a full Moon in the background are commonplace today. There is, however, absolutely no scientific evidence connecting Moon phases and wolf activities. Research has shown that wolves howl to communicate with the rest of their pack. Because they are nocturnal - they hunt for food at night and sleep during the day - they tend to howl at night. They turn their heads up when howling because doing so helps carry their sounds further. How to Celebrate? Learn more about wolves and their species. Use the day as an excuse to take a night time hike with friends. Remember to let people know where you are going. Did You Know… …that wolves are the ancestors of present-day dogs? *** Have you played the updated kids' game? I Spy With My Little Eye . . .

The origins of this made-up holiday are unknown, but we can assume that the day encourages people to try our sour foods and to cheer up the sour people in their lives. Sourness Sourness is a taste that detects acidity in a food item. Scientists rank substances on their sourness by comparing it to hydrochloric acid, which has a sourness index of 1. Souring Souring is a cooking technique that introduces acid to a food item and changes the chemical and physical properties of the food item. It is often used to make certain types of cheeses and yogurts. The word sour is also used to refer to someone who is angry, disagreeable or irritable. A person who harbors resentment or disappointment is also sometimes called a sour person. How to Celebrate? Replace your daily beverages with sour beverages like limeade, buttermilk and drinking vinegar. Have sour tasting food all day long. Have sour fruits for breakfast and for lunch have lemon chicken. For dinner make some ceviche, a grapefruit salad and a key lime pie for dessert. Bring sour candy to work for your co-workers or make a dessert that include sour fruit or limes. Know someone who is grumpy and grouchy? Do something nice for them to make them feel less sour. Did You Know… …that an average adult has about 10,000 taste buds in their mouth? Taste buds reduce in number as people age. *** Famous film quotes get the

Also sometimes known as baloney or boloney, bologna sausage is an American version of the Italian mortadella sausage. The American version is named after the Italian city of Bologna, where the original sausage is thought to have originated from. Different Meats According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) bologna sausages can be made of pork, beef, chicken or lamb, but the meat has to be very finely ground such that there can be no flecks of lard or spices visible in the sausage. In the U.S. bologna sausages are mostly used to make bologna or baloney sandwiches, which is a slice of bologna and other condiments between two pieces of white bread. Many regional varieties of the sandwich exist, the most famous being fried bologna sandwich from the Midwest. The holiday is also sometimes known as National Bologna Day in the United States. How to Celebrate? Make a bologna sandwich for all your meals. Try pairing it with different condiments to mix things up. For a special dessert, try making a bologna cake - a cake made by alternating layers of bologna and cream cheese. Make your own bologna sausage from scratch.
