Today, April 7th, is the 75th Anniversary of Beer’s triumphant return to the U.S. palate.
In 1933, Prohibition was on its last teetotaling legs as FDR assumed the presidency and, thanks to the Cullen-Harrison Act, beer became legal again at the stroke of midnight, “New Beers Eve.” It wasn’t powerful stuff – 3.2 alcohol – but it was, for the first time in 14 years, legal beer.
In gratitude, we've gone on to make Budweiser the number one consumed beer (both nationally and internationally), proving that whoever said "we didn’t deserve to drink beer" was right. So today, we can celebrate the 75th anniversary of the return of beer and the 75th anniversary of our not deserving it since all we do is drink the Shasta of suds.
