NATIONAL BEER DAY
National Beer Day is observed annually on April 7th. Celebrate with a pint of pale ale, lager, stout, wheat beer or pale ale.
One of the world’s oldest prepared beverages, beer possibly dates back to 9500 BC when cereal was first farmed. It is recorded in the written history of ancient Iraq and ancient Egypt.
Beer is the world’s most widely consumed alcoholic beverage. Following water and tea, it is the third most popular drink overall.
HOW TO OBSERVE
Grab a beer and spend some time with friends. (Remember always to drink responsibly and never drink and drive.) Use #NationalBeerDay to post on social media.
HISTORY
On April 7, 1933, President Franklin Roosevelt took the first step toward ending Prohibition and signed a law that allowed people to brew and sell beer, in the United States, as long as it remained below 4.0% alcohol by volume (ABV). Beer drinkers celebrated and were happy to be able to purchase beer again for the first time in thirteen years.
Our research found this day was created as National Beer Day by Justin Smith, a Richmond, Virginia Craft Beer Examiner, and his friend Mike Connolly from Liverpool, England. April 7th was chosen because the Cullen-Harrison Act was signed into law and became active on this day. In 2009, Smith and Connolly created a National Beer Day Facebook page. From this page, they invited friends to join, and word has spread to many sources that April 7 is National Beer Day.

Ein Prosit der Gemütlichkeit!
Thank you, my friend SGT John " Mac " McConnell for making us aware that in the minds of some Sunday April 7 was National Beer Day. This brings back memories of my time spent stationed in Germany during the Cold War.
1. "Volksmarsch", people's march) is a form of non-competitive fitness walking that developed in Europe in the mid-late 1960's. As in most things German, Volksmarsch included beer stands at the beginning and end of the march as well as it points along the way :-)
2. Oktoberfest took the national pastime of quaffing beer to a heightened frenzy every year :-)
