Brewing Up Good Cheer: Celebrating Brew Monday 2025

Brew Monday, observed annually on the third Monday of January, is a special day dedicated to combating the winter blues and promoting mental well-being. This year, Brew Monday is on January 20th, 2025, encouraging individuals and communities to come together over a warm beverage to connect, share, and support one another.

The concept of Brew Monday is simple yet powerful: to use the act of sharing a cup of tea, coffee, or any other warm beverage as a catalyst for social connection and emotional support. Whether it's a quick chat with a colleague, a coffee date with a friend, or a family gathering around the kitchen table, the focus is on fostering human connection and combating feelings of isolation that can be prevalent during the winter months.

Brew Monday has gained significant traction in recent years, with individuals, workplaces, and communities organizing events and activities to celebrate the day. From coffee mornings and tea parties to bake sales and charity events, the day offers a unique opportunity to bring people together and raise awareness about mental health.

Beyond the social benefits, Brew Monday also encourages mindfulness and self-care. Taking a moment to savor a warm beverage and engage in meaningful conversation can help reduce stress, improve mood, and increase overall well-being.

As we move forward, Brew Monday serves as a reminder of the importance of human connection and the power of small acts of kindness. By simply taking the time to connect with others over a cup of something warm, we can all contribute to creating a more supportive and compassionate community.

And one of the organisations we’d like to highlight this Brew Monday is Samaritans. Read more here to learn about hosting a Brew Monday event at your offices or virtually.

Together with Samritans, we say out with the blue and in with the brew! ​
