Celebrating the Original National Beer Day
Prior to full repeal of Prohibition with the 21st Amendment to the Constitution, President Roosevelt signed the Cullen-Harrison Act, (aka the Beer-Wine Revenue Act), which amended the Volstead Act to allow the manufacture and sale of beer with a 3.2% alcohol content. Previously, the Volstead Act had prohibited the sale of any beverage with an alcohol content above 0.5%.
Signed on March 22, 1933, the Cullen-Harrison Act went into effect on April 7, now observed as National Beer Day.
