I’m pretty sure there’s nothing more American than National Beer Day — unless there was an official National Beer, Bacon, and BBQ day of course. Getting together with a bunch of friends, appreciating a fine beer, and spending a spring day enjoying a patio somewhere with way too much food is the best all-American day I can imagine having. Throw in a grill, and you have a party, am I right?

If you’re trying to find some inspiration for your first toast to the hop gods on National Beer Day, here are some beer quotes from some serious beer-lovers to get you started.
