\n\tThey say that music is the universal language, but so, you could argue, is beer.<\/p>\n
\n\tFrom IPAs to stout, pale ales, pilsner, porter, dark lagers, sours and more, just about everywhere in the world has its signature type of brew. There\u2019s also hardly a country on Earth where you can\u2019t pull up to a local bar, pub, dive or tavern and put your differences aside to enjoy a nice pint with whoever\u2019s sitting on the stool next to you \u2014 regardless of whether it\u2019s \u201ccheers,\u201d \u201csl\u00e1inte,\u201d \u201csalud,\u201d \u201ccin-cin\u201d or \u201ckanpai\u201d that you\u2019re saying before it goes down the hatch.<\/p>\n
\n\tThat\u2019s exactly why the global calendar features a very special holiday each year: International Beer Day, which in 2026 is taking place on Friday (Aug. 7). It\u2019s the perfect date to gather some friends and celebrate over your beer \u2014 and receptacle, whether it\u2019s a plastic cup, glass, bottle, can or funnel \u2014 of choice. Of course, you\u2019re also going to want to have some good music going as well to complete the experience, and that\u2019s where Billboard <\/em>has you covered. Humanity\u2019s love of brewskis has fostered a number of songs dedicated in some way, shape or form to the ritual of cracking open a cold one, and we\u2019ve curated 13 of the best ones to froth up your playlists.<\/p>\n
\n\tFrom classic drinking songs like the aptly named \u201cBeer, Beer, Beer\u201d to modern country smashes such as Luke Combs\u2019 \u201cBeer Never Broke My Heart\u201d (which, by the way, is the Billboard Hot 100\u2018s highest peaking track with \u201cbeer\u201d in the title to date at No. 21) see our top beer song selections below.<\/p>\n

Frothiest lyric:<\/strong> \u201cNow, I really love how you\u2019re easy to stack\/ But I really hate how you\u2019re easy to crack\/ \u2018Cause when beer runs down the front of my back\/ Well that, my friends, is quite yucky.\u201d<\/p>\n
