National What!!!!!
You read that right. Today is 'National Beer Day', I never even knew it existed.
National Beer Day has been around since 1933. Of course it not one those holidays that the majority of people celebrate, but obviously there are those that need an excuse to celebrate because of it.
I'm not a die hard beer drinker, I just enjoy one every now & then, and I drink just that, '1 beer'. And that's about 3 or 4 times a year.
Here's A Little Info Take Directly From WikiPedia
National Beer Day (United States)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"National Beer Day is celebrated in the United States every year on April 7, marking the day that the Cullen–Harrison Act was came into force after having been signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on March 22, 1933. This led to the Eighteenth Amendment being repealed on December 5, 1933, with the ratification of the Twenty-first Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. April 6, the day prior to National Beer Day, is known as New Beer's Eve."
"Upon signing the legislation, Roosevelt made his famous remark, "I think this would be a good time for a beer." The law went into effect on April 7 of that year (1933) in states that had enacted their own law allowing such sales. The beer could contain up to 3.2% alcohol by weight (or 4.05% by volume) compared to the 0.5% limit of the Volstead Act because 3.2% was considered too low to produce intoxication."
"People across the country responded by gathering outside breweries, some beginning the night before. On that first day, 1.5 million barrels of beer were consumed, inspiring the future holiday. Today, April 7 is recognized as National Beer Day, and April 6 is known as New Beer's Eve."
"The Cullen-Harrison Act was not the official end of prohibition in the US (that happened on December 5, 1933, when the 21st Amendment was ratified). What the Cullen-Harrison Act did do was redefine an "intoxicating beverage" under the Volstead Act. As such, April 7 is a beer-specific holiday, as opposed to Repeal Day, celebrated on December 5."
