Celebrate National Beer Day Today on April 7
Happy National Beer Day!
National Beer Day is celebrated every year on April 7 which was the day that beer was once again allowed to be legally manufactured and sold following Prohibition. On March 22, 1933, President Franklin Roosevelt signed the Cullen–Harrison Act into law which moved the U.S. away from Prohibition by allowing the manufacture and sale of beer which was approximately 4% alcohol by volume (just a little less than the average today) and some wines. Roosevelt reportedly signed the document and then turned to his Aide, Louis Howe, and said “I think this would be a good time for a beer.”
Prohibition would officially remain in place for a few more months but the ability to drink beer and wine was worth cheering. Here are a few more facts about beer – and its close relationship to tax – to help you celebrate: Beer is the most popular alcoholic beverage in the United States. As a country, we consume 205.8 million barrels per year, or about 20 gallons per person per year.
