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.
Our research found this day was created as National Beer Day by Justin Smith, a Richmond, Virginia Craft Beer Examiner, and his friend Mike Connolly from Liverpool, England. April 7th corresponds with the date the Cullen-Harrison Act was signed into law and became active. In 2009, Smith and Connolly created a National Beer Day Facebook page. From this page, they invited friends to join, and word spread to many sources.

BEER PING!......................
Pinging ALL lists.......................
ANYTHING BUT BUDWEISER!
Buttwiper.......................
Now the QUEEN of beers 😂
I've found a new "mix" that I like. I usually like a very hoppy ale...the bitter doesn't bother me.
But I've found that if I mix half of a "Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA" with half of a "Founders Dirty Bastard Scotch Ale", it smooths out the Dogfish Head and punches up the Dirty Bastard very nicely. A great mix.
They can’t sell Budweiser in Germany or anywhere in Europe, using that name, because there was already a beer in Germany by that name that was hundreds of years old, so THAT Budweiser is fine..................
Hoppy beers don’t bother me, either............

In some of my songs I have casually mentioned
The fact that I like to drink beer
This little song is more to the point
Roll out the barrel and lend me your ears
I like beer, it makes me a jolly good fellow
I like beer, it helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow (Makes him feel mellow)
Whiskey's too rough, Champagne costs too much, vodka puts my mouth in gear
This little refrain should help me explain as a matter of fact I like beer
(He likes beer)
My wife often frowns when we're out on the town
And I'm wearing a suit and a tie
She's sipping vermouth and she thinks I'm uncouth
When I yell as the waiter goes by
I like beer, it makes me a jolly good fellow
I like beer, it helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow (Makes him feel mellow)
Whiskey's too rough, Champagne costs too much, vodka puts my mouth in gear
This little refrain should help me explain as a matter of fact I like beer

Last night I dreamed that I passed from the scene
And I went to a place so sublime
Aw, the water was clear and tasted like beer
Then they turned it all into wine (Awww)
I like beer, it makes me a jolly good fellow

It came out beautiful. Ice cold, and whisper quiet. I'm heading out in about an hour for the ceremonial first keg (Yuengling, of course).
Draft beer makes me so happy!
It is actually Czech. The first time I had real Budweiser was in Wenceslas Square in Prague in 1990. Eastern Europe, the wall etc., has opened up the previous year and 1990 was the first year of the tourist flood into Prague.
On Good Friday??? That’s like the folks who celebrate Memorial Day with kegs… it is especially shocking when veterans honor their KIA brothers in arms by getting wasted on a lake.
Not really..............
hmmm ...well that must be the reason I can drink a 12pk of Coors Light in an afternoon out on the boat with never a problem!! :P
What is the best breakfast beer?
Thanks, I did not know that!
I first saw it in Germany..........
