August 5th, is International Beer Day, a celebration of beer, fellowship, and the good people who facilitate beer's transformation from a humble grain to a glorious libation. International Beer Day, however, is not just another evening at the bar. Participants are encouraged to give one another the gift of beer by buying each other drinks and to express their gratitude to their favorite brewers, bartenders, and so forth by means of generous tips, thank you notes, or whatever else may be appropriate. In the international spirit of the holiday, it is also suggested that you sample a beer from another culture - the brand you haven't tried before.

This image was originally created for, and aired on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno”, and then was retooled for an advanced Photoshop Contest at FreakingNews.com.

(Contest Directions: To celebrate the upcoming International Beer Day, create new beer brands by editing any existing beer brands, or creating them from scratch.)

This image was created in Adobe photoshop using a combination of self-created art & various photo source elements.
