happy hour

Happy Hour!!

So April 7th is the 75th anniversary of the repeal of beer prohibition. According to my really quick search on the beertown.org and beeradvocate websites, no DC events are planned for this occasion! And so, I submit we all show up at a beer bar somewhere in town to celebrate. It's on a Monday so I am thinking a happy hour after work maybe at RFD's since its centrally located... Any takers? Suggestions?

This year we are celebrating the 75^th anniversary of the modification of the Volstead Act on April 7, 1933, which allowed beer to legally flow once again in the United States of America. Not to be confused with the repeal of prohibition on December 5th, 1933, April 7 marks the date when beer was the only legal libation in the United States.

The modification of the Volstead Act allows beer to be sold once again. The modification changed the allowed alcohol percentage of a beverage from .05 to 3.2 allowing beer to be served once again. Over 1.5 million barrels of beer was consumed during the first 24-hours after the modification of the Act.
