Well folks, it looks like IPA Day is back.

If you’re unfamiliar with this hoppy little holiday, here’s the scoop: Held on the first Thursday of every August, IPA day is an opportunity for breweries, bloggers, homebrewers, bar owners, or, better yet, all beer enthusiasts to come together for one big, global toast to the iconic India Pale Ale.

This year it’s happening August 1st.

For the last two years, groups of beer aficionados have gathered across the country for special events featuring the IPA. Participants were encouraged to spread the love through social media, utilizing the all-holy hashtag #IPADay to share events, photos, tasting notes, anecdotes, etc. Last year, around 12,000 tweets went out using the hashtag #IPADay, leading to more than 10 million impressions on Twitter.

Below we’ve listed how a few Austin establishments plan on celebrating. Keep checking this spot for updates as the third annual IPA Day draws closer, and let us know if you have any events to add:
