07 April - National Beer Day in the United States

 

National Beer Day in the United States is celebrated annually on April 7th. This day commemorates the Cullen-Harrison Act, which went into effect on April 7, 1933, marking the first day since the beginning of Prohibition that people could legally buy, sell, and drink beer containing up to 3.2% alcohol by weight (or 4.0% by volume) in the United States. This event was a significant step towards the eventual repeal of Prohibition with the ratification of the 21st Amendment to the United States Constitution later that year. National Beer Day is celebrated by beer enthusiasts across the country, often with gatherings at breweries, beer tastings, and other related events.
