New Beer’s Eve, a delightful and fun day to spend celebrating the freedom to choose to drink beer, or any type of alcoholic beverage. The celebration of this day has a rich history, and it promises to provide a delightful reason to observe and enjoy the beauty of being able to freely enjoy a beer!
Historical fact for lovers of all types of tasty brews everywhere, the years of 1920 to 1933 were incredibly sad times. That’s because this was the period of Prohibition in the United States, when the 18th Amendment was created so that any and all forms of alcohol were made illegal.
Thankfully, in 1933, the United States government came to their senses and President Roosevelt decided that this frothy brew, as well as wine and hard liquor, should once again flow freely in the taverns and bars of the country.
On this date in 1933, it is recorded that the people lined up around the block at the doors of their favorite bars and pubs as they prepared to imbibe the legal brews for the first time in 13 years. Ever since that night, this day has been referred to as ‘New Beer’s Eve’, a precursor of ‘New Beers Day’.
It is said that at 12:01 on this day in the year 1933, President Roosevelt made this statement: “I think this would be a good time for a beer.”
Making a bit of history, the first 24 hours of the end of the prohibition saw an estimated 1.5 million gallons of beer consumed, in addition to wine and various other spirits.
