APRIL 7TH lets celebrate
|
|
April 7th is the earliest drinking day for my first batch of home brew. As you can tell from my signature I have been very busy brewing, but not drinking.  well home brew at least, haha.
April 7th is also significat because in 1933 the prohibition was repealed for beer of no more than 3.2% alcohol by weight, eight months before the ratification of XXI amendment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_7th
So in light of this knowledge i ask of all you HBT's out there, will you join me in a toast and drink on this wonderful day.

I've heard this date referred to as Brew Years Eve. I'm all for celebrating April 7th and December 5th (Repeal Day). Some places are going to be having drink specials on Monday, so if you don't have any HB to drink check the list at http://beertown.org/apps/75yearsofbeer/

75th Anniversary of the return of 3.2 beer!!!

Not that that 3.2 beer is very exciting but it was an important date in the beer brewing world in general!!!

I'm sure my state is not celebrating, lol. They don't like alcohol here in Oklahoma  . At least my state has allowed our 3 breweries to start producing higher than 3.2% ABW beer. Talk about a bad surprise, I drove all the way to OKC to try out a brewery and had the crappiest watery beer I have ever drank. 3.2% is good for one thing, and that is beer-bonging college parties where flavor has no factor in what you are drinking and getting drunk is the only priority. It just takes a lot longer to get drunk, lol, and you pee a lot more. Oklahoma needs to get with the 21st century and do away with the beer discrimination. Maybe they could allow for cold storage from the liquor stores as well while they are at it. You can't even buy/wouldn't buy everything you would want to drink here because of no refridgeration. Try a OK Pilsner Urqell, yuck!

We started early and had a 75th anniversary beer tasting at Iechyd Da Brewery on Saturday. Beer, pizza, and really bad karaoke to celebrate. Not all our friends could make it so we are extending the celebration to the 19th, just because.
