Cheers! Toast like a local on International Beer Day

Taking a business trip to South Korea? Make sure your hands are free. It’s traditional to accept and pour beer with both hands before clinking glasses.

Visiting family or friends in Armenia? If you’re sharing a beer bottle with the table, be considerate and pour the last drops into your own glass. Though it may seem selfish, Armenian custom dictates otherwise: whoever receives the final pour must purchase the next bottle.

In China, toasting, usually with beer, wine or Chinese white liquors, is an important part of business etiquette. The host will make the first toast. If it is to you, then you should respond with a toast to your host. Toasting will continue throughout the meal. Clinking the other person's glass below the rim is a sign of respect.
