Prohibition - what was all that
about then?
Although fully repealled on the 5th December 1933 an amendment to the Prohibition laws legalised beer starting on April the 7th of the same year. It only applied to beer with 3.2% alcohol by weight (4% by volume). So from that April America's brewers were legal for a full eight months before wine and spirits were legitimatly sold. The first public delivery actually went to Roosevelt in the White House who had won the presidency in part due to his support of Prohibition repeal.
To celebrate repeal brewers across the country will be host Brew Years Eve parties on April 7 all detailed on the Brewers Association Beertown website.
