80 years later, how will you celebrate?!

On December 5, 1933 the 21st amendment was signed abolishing the 18th amendment which ended prohibition. Tomorrow is exactly 80 years since that historic day, how will you celebrate our freedom to drink as we please?!

Probably the same way I celebrate every night...with 2-3 pints of my delicious home brew.

I will have to include this in my celebrations! HB is the ultimate way to celebrate our freedom from the end of prohibition

Now that is commitment people! I have never heard of so many meals in a day, let alone drinking points in the day! :rockin:

I celebrate it every day.

But I'll make a special effort ( ) tomorrow.

Sadly, it looks like some cities in Alaska do not permit home brewing. While it is legal, the legality of it is overridden because the local option is exercised. I learned that when some member here said it was a class 3 felony to brew. Sad day for sure.

All that said, I won't enjoy a brew tonight but I will make up for it in numbers tomorrow. Promise.

I read that thread, I couldnt believe that. Not only are they outlawing homwbrewing, but the government controls the liquor store and make a hefty profit from it. I will be drinking some HB's in honor of him tonight

PA Liquor laws are somewhat similar. No six packs or bottles unless you are at a 'bottle shop' that has a bar license and have to tax accordingly. Slowly but surely they are trying to get this all changed.
I think it was last year where state authorities raided a very well known bar called the Memphis Tap Room (which you may of seen on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives) because they were selling beer that wasn't listed on their permit. They had to pay a fine and pay to get each other brew they were selling listed on their permit. It was a shame.

I will perhaps indulge in the first of my 4-pack of GI BCBS to celebrate tonight. Or... I just picked up clown shoes' very angry beast. Or.... one of the piles and stacks of HB I have in the beer fridge.

Or....... All of the above?

I have the joy of celebrating two "holidays" every year on the 5th, and this one is slightly more awesome, as I was born on December 5th. So I'll have 4 things to celebrate, listed below.
1. I turn 25 today (quarter life!):rockin:
2. 80 years since prohibition ended.
3. I made eggnog for the first time, and its awesome.
4. Been brewing hombrew for just over a year and a month

Here's a cool website about "Repeal Day"

http://www.repealday.org/

Nice lil read. Another holiday to celebrate with others. Like cinco de mayo & all those,only official.

I forgot to post this up here earlier but I enjoyed a HB nut brown ale at lunch today

I'm gonna watch "The Untouchables" just for the last line in the movie...

Reproter: They say they're going to repeal prohibition. What will you do then?

Elliot Ness: l think l'll have a drink.

Beer #2 for the anniversary today! Later I will be enjoy many jack and cokes at the kstate basketball game, probably more than normal cuz we suck this year

Beer #3 on this fine holiday!

S_M

And the celebrations have begun! Porter and egg nog.

Had five jack and cokes at the kstate game tonight, now finishing apfelwein #2 I love being a free man!

Had a Sierra Nevada to celebrate repeal, and some homebrew to celebrate my bootlegging great granddad...then just kept drinking...

I celebrated by getting on a plane and leaving Afghanistan. Got to my first stop waiting on another airplane, then went to the bar and had a hooegarten. Should be home in a few days.

I had some of my Cougar Country IPA's & vodka.

I had a couple homebrewed IPAs, a homebrewed schwarzbier, and an Odell Cutthroat Porter. Probably more than I should for a weeknight, but oh well.
