[Ken Hohhof]

According to Wikipedia:

Recognized nationwide among beer enthusiasts, National Beer Day is an 
unofficial holiday in the United States celebrated every year on April 7, 
and marking the day in 1933, the first day in 13 years, that people could 
legally buy, sell, and drink beer.

National Beer Day is a celebration of the Cullen–Harrison Act being signed 
into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on March 22, 1933. Upon signing 
the legislation, Roosevelt made his famous remark, "I think this would be a 
good time for a beer." The law went into effect on April 7 of that year, 
allowing people to buy, sell and drink beer containing up to 3.2% alcohol by 
weight (or 4.05% by volume) in states that had enacted their own law 
allowing such sales. People across the country responded by gathering 
outside breweries, some beginning the night before. On that first day, 1.5 
million barrels of beer were consumed, inspiring the future holiday. Today, 
April 7 is recognized as National Beer Day and April 6 is known as New 
Beer's Eve.
