Happy National Beer Day!
On this day in 1933 that President Franklin Roosevelt enacted the Cullen-Harrison Act, the first step toward the repeal of Prohibition. The act allowed for beers under 3.2 percent alcohol to be sold in the United States. Plenty of people felt a weak beer was better than no beer at all, so they lined up at breweries nationwide (so the story goes) to buy beer legally for the first time in 13 years.
