The 2nd Annual International Stout Day is nearly upon us, taking place on Thursday, November 8, 2012.  In the words of it’s creator:

International Stout Day is a worldwide celebration of the iconic beer style, Stout. Taking place in homes, pubs, breweries and restaurants; it’s all about celebrating the craft beer revolution, relishing in this beloved beer style, sharing your photos, tasting notes and events with the world.

What the heck.  I love a good stout and have a few in the beer fridge I’ve been waiting to try. While this made-up-beer-holiday hasn’t quite caught on like IPA day, you can still earn a badge on Untappd by checking in a stout and perhaps take part in a stout-filled event at a bar or brewery near you.
