National Beer Day History
On April 7, 1933, President Franklin Roosevelt took the first step toward ending Prohibition and signed a law that allowed people to brew and sell beer, in the United States, as long as it remained below 4.0% alcohol by volume (ABV). Beer drinkers celebrated and were happy to be able to purchase beer again for the first time in thirteen years. The celebration by beer drinkers was dubbed National Beer Day.
Our research found the National Beer Day showing up in 2009 on social media after Justin Smith, a Richmond, Virginia Craft Beer Examiner, and his friend Mike Connolly from Liverpool, England created a Facebook page celebrating National Beer Day. The date corresponded with the date the Cullen-Harrison Act was signed into law and became active. On their National Beer Day Facebook page, the duo invited friends to join, and word spread to many sources.

ReplyDeleteOn today's early news, there was a story from yesterday, of a semi crossing a RR track with no warning lights, that was hit by a train. The trailer was filled with cases of canned beer. The commenters remarked how appropriate the timing was since it was beer day.
