National Beer Lover’s Day

Posted on

How did I celebrate?

Miller Lite, two of them, in the new VORTEX Bottle (gotta love the vortex) with my girlfriend Mendi.

While some people don’t think Miller Lite is considered a beer that should be appreciated, it was exactly what I wanted. Normally when I drink beer (especially a light beer), I suck them down pretty quick. Not this time…I savored each beer and loved the taste, the carbonation, and the Vortex.

    National Beer Day (April 7th) is the only with with a historically significant date.

    April 7th is National Beer Day here in the US. In 1933 during the prohibition era, the Cullen-Harrison Act was signed into law by President Franklin Roosevelt on March 23rd. That law was enacted on April 7th allowing the brewing and sale of beer in the United States again as long as it was < 3.2% (4% ABV). It's said that people waited in line overnight on April 6th outside Milwaukee breweries in order to legally buy beer for the first time in over 13 years. As a result, April 7th is known as National Beer Day and April 6th is called New Beers Eve.
