Happy Repeal Day! As I'm sure you know, today is the 75th Anniversary of the Repeal of Prohibition. For folks in my bizz, winemakers, brewers, and distillers; it's a big holiday. I heard that some of my local bars will be celebrating, although I wish I could make it to some of the big parties I've heard about.

The other day I got an email from Natalie Bovis-Nelsen, The Liquid Muse, a mixologist and booze blogger, about Repeal Day Parties around the country. I thought I'd like to share it with you. Then I did a little research on other party announcements. I read on Marketwatch that Dewar's is having Repeal Day Parties all over the country. The Business Sheet has some info about parties, and ProhibitionRepeal.com has a list of real Prohibition Era Speakeasies where you can celebrate.

Do you know of any Repeal Day Parties in your area?

The beauty of repeal day is that you don't NEED to plan a party, you can just start drinking and a party will happen.

Of course, it marks the end of Canada's primo bootlegging business as well... ah well.
