Happy National Beer Day [VIDEO]

Today is National Beer Day. I know it's only Tuesday but if your looking for a reason for a cold one here it is. 

According to National Day Calendar National Beer Day is celebrated annually on April 7th.

Beer is the world’s most widely consumed alcoholic beverage.  Following water and tea, it is the third most popular drink overall. On April 7, 1933, President Franklin Roosevelt took the first step toward ending Prohibition and signed a law that allowed people to brew and sell beer, in the United States, as long as it remained below 4.0% alcohol by volume (ABV). Beer drinkers celebrated and were happy to be able to purchase beer again for the first time in thirteen years.

With our huge local beer selection in our area there is no reason not to celebrate the day. Meet up with your friends and try something new to you.
