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.

Heck. As far as I’m concerned everyday is National Beer Day.
One of my all time favorite songs. Tom T was awesome.
Same in this house. Mr. FF is an avid beer drinker. Lately craft beers.
Is there still a major American-owned beer company still in operation?
Can’t stand the stuff or the smell of it - always asked my husband why he enjoyed drinking yeast.
He loved it, almost lived for it and it was his drink of choice b/c he liked the taste of it - the stronger the better, double and triple IPAs and dark, bitter stouts, especially Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout. There was one brewed with coffee that he likes as well.
When we traveled, he’d search out local breweries for local brews - often these places also brewed root beer so I’d have that.
He asked for Old Rasputin on the day he died - and to this day my family toasts with that beer on his birthday (except for me, I toast with iced tea).
Does not look like it....... 🤔
Anything but Bud!
I never developed a “taste” for beer, although I drank aplenty when I was young in the Marines.
I don’t drink now, but if I did I would drink only German dark beers.............
This is National BEER Day, not national dog piss day............. 😆
Yeah... Bud no longer qualifies.
LOL! I can see the posts already anyway “Hey, that isn’t even real beer...”
If I have a choice, Yuengling is what I drink. If I want to drink volumes without caring, just want it to go down the hatch, I drink Coors light.
In both cases (all cases) unless on reads the fine print, one can often not immediately tell who actually owns them.
Hey does that include Bud Light in the Loafers?
It seems they been getting in the public eye lately.
