Glasses were raised in unison across the world on November 3^rd, the first International #StoutDay. Together, about 1.3 million people across the U.S., England, Canada, Brazil and Ireland celebrated this historic and iconic beer style and toasted to the craft beer revolution.

Well, the first International Stout Day was a huge success!

There were stout tastings, dinners, specials and even festivals all across the country, in Meridian, Idaho, San Diego, California, Kansas City, Missouri, Denver, Colorado  San Francisco, California and Manhattan, New York and in many other cities and towns across America.  Tyne And Wear in the UK and Asa Norte in Brazil even got in on the stout action by offering specials on specialty stouts in casks, kegs and bottles.  The store at Toronto's Amsterdam Brewery actually sold out of their Tempest Imperial Stout.
