       New Beer's Eve!

      .

    There's a big "holiday" on tap folks!

April 7th., is "National Beer Day!" And

that makes today, "New Beers Eve!" 
    On March 22, 1933, President Franklin
D. Roosevelt, signed the Cullen-Harrison Act.
It repealed prohibition for beer. Effective
April 7, 1933, people could once more buy,
sell and consume beer. Everybody waited

anxiously for Midnight on April 6th.
    And when it came the kegs were open

and Americans consumed 1.5 million barrels
of legal beer and ale. That probably pales
compared with many Saturday nights
these days!
      I'm not what you'd call a "Beer guy."
I have some wine every now and then.
But I've never especially like the taste
of most beers.
     In fact when we visited Ireland a
couple years ago I tried to give my wife
my pint of Guinness after just one sip!
     I still know the Gibbons and
Stegmeier jingles by heart and the
scent of hops cooking as I drive by our
local brewery is not unpleasant. I just
don't appreciate the taste.
      I had one "Light beer" a couple
weeks ago and it wasn't half bad. I may
have another. Sometime later this year.
      As for "National Beer Day" I'll
probably raise a toast with my favorite

wine!
      For the rest of you, "Bottoms Up!"
Hope all your NEWS is good!
