In days of yore, the beer enthusiasts of the United States found themselves in a melancholy state. In 1920, the government sanctioned the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, prohibiting all intoxicating liquors, including beer, ushering in the era now recognized as Prohibition. Fortunately, in 1933, Prohibition reached its conclusion. The noteworthy date was April 7, and in commemoration, we now annually observe New Beer's Eve on April 6! So, raise a glass and toast to the freedom to enjoy a refreshing beer.
