National Beer Day: What your favourite beer says about you

April 7th is National Beer Day in the US, apparently (not to be confused with International Beer Day, which falls  on August 7th. Or with Britain's National Beer Day, which is June 15th). 
First celebrated in 2009, the April 7th National Beer Day became a social media "thing" thanks to Justin Smith of Richmond, Virgina, who set up a Facebook page for a day of celebration to mark the anniversary of the day in 1933 when beer became legal in the US after years of prohibition.
Beer-lovers around the world - and countless brands -  have been celebrating with gusto:

To mark the occasion, we took a look at YouGov's fascinating siteYouGov Profiles, to see what we could learn about Britain's beer drinkers.
The site creates profiles of consumers, giving (for example) an at-a-glance look at what the typical Stella Artois-drinker is interested in - his spending habits, her taste in films, what newspaper he reads, her political leanings, and so on.

My imaginary emoji recap is appealing because it's incredibly hard to come away from a blockbuster hour of television like "Chapter Forty-Four" and pull together coherent thoughts that aren't just "AHHH!" or "WHY would you get ICE for the DAMN CHAMPAGNE?!" or "OMG FACE OFF MASK!" or "Why isn't all of life just Jane and Rogelio doing that father/daughter dance forever?" But I'll give it a try. Jane the Virgin 's season finale is a narrative fireworks display, a shock-and-awe storytelling spectacular that short-circuits emotional processing centers with blazing confidence. It drops j
