Raise a Glass This Father’s Day: The Importance of a Beer and a Catch-Up with Dad
Father’s Day is more than just another date in the diary — it’s a heartfelt opportunity to say thank you to the father figures who’ve supported us through thick and thin. Whether it’s your dad, grandad, stepdad, or someone who’s simply been like a father to you, there’s no better way to celebrate than by sharing a cold beer and a proper catch-up.
A Brief History of Father’s Day
Though it may feel like a modern invention, Father’s Day has its roots in early 20th-century America. The first recorded celebration took place in 1910 in Spokane, Washington, inspired by Sonora Smart Dodd, who wanted to honour her father — a single parent who raised six children. It wasn’t until 1972 that the occasion was officially recognised in the US. In the UK, we mark Father’s Day on the third Sunday in June — in 2025, that’s Sunday, 15th June — giving us the perfect chance to reconnect with our dads.
Why a Beer and a Catch-Up Go Hand-in-Hand
There’s something timeless about having a pint with your dad. Whether it’s at the local pub, during a barbecue, or in the comfort of your own home, beer has a way of bringing people together. It’s a chance to slow down, reconnect, and swap stories. In our busy lives, those small moments of connection — the laughs, the memories, the advice — are what truly matter.
And if your dad’s a beer enthusiast, then there’s even more reason to make Father’s Day 2025 one to remember.
