Fact About Beer You Can Share Around The Bar
April 7 is known as National Beer Day in the United States. This holiday commemorates the day that the Cullen-Harrison Act was enacted. The law allowed for the legal sale of low-alcohol beer in the United States, several months before Prohibition was completely repealed. President Franklin Roosevelt signed it into law on March 22, 1933, and stated, "I think this would be a good time for a beer," noting the end to the nation's 13-year-long dry spell. To celebrate National Beer Day, your favorite sports bar at the Lake of the Ozarks has some fun facts, so grab a cold one and let's get started!
