Brew Years Eve!

Repeal_logo I was over at the Brewer's Association website the other day (www.beertown.org) and discovered that they are helping to put together a night to celebrate the repeal of Prohibition.  The great failed experiment and creator of the mob!  On the evening of April 7th, establishments across the US will be celebrating the return of beer on that date back in 1933.  Some of the first beer shipments on that date went right to the White House as Roosevelt had campaigned heavily of bringing back alcohol as a legal drink.  So head out and toast a few beers to FDR!  Be sure to follow that with one to Jimmy Carter who legalized homebrewing back in the 70's where many of today's craft beer pioneer's got their start.

To find events in your state check out this link on the Brewer's Association site.
