A somewhat new and unofficial holiday, April 7th is celebrated by beer enthusiasts nationwide as National Beer Day. President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed into law the Cullen-Harrison Act, the first step in repealing prohibition, on March 22nd, 1933. On April 7th, the law went into effect once again allowing citizens to brew, buy and consume beer. Legally, that is. Folks waited outside breweries overnight to get their first sip of beer in 13 years! Legal beer, that is.
Whether a causal sipper, a connoisseur, or one of the new crop of home-brewers, the library has quite the collection of malty, grainy, fruity, zippy, bubbly books to quench your thirst. Tip for next year: Start your celebration on April 6th, New Beer's Eve!
