More About National Beer Day
On this day in 1933, the sale of beer containing less than 3.2% alcohol by volume was permitted in the U.S., having been banned since the imposition of Prohibition in 1919.
The bill, signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt allowed for the sale, purchase and consumption of beer once again. Alcohol was prohibited from the years 1920-1933 due to President Woodrow Wilson’s veto of the 18th Amendment.
After he signed, Roosevelt reportedly remarked to his aide Louis Howe, “I think this would be a good time for a beer.”
