http://www.aetv.com/
The national broadcast premiere airs April 7 on A&E. Upcoming airings are scheduled for Saturday, April 7 at 10pm/9C and Sunday, April 8 at 2am/1C.
Presented by Here's to Beer, this Florentine Film Production traces the history of beer in America. Watch beer brewed in the colonial manner in a fireplace in Colonial Williamsburg; see it being home-brewed in the Bronx; and a craft brewer creates a Jasmine IPA in Seattle. We also trace the 1970s emergence of craft brewing in California. Park yourself in front of the TV and celebrate America's brewing heritage.
Sunday, April 8 at 2am/1C
Why April 7?
On April 7, 1933 newly elected President Roosevelt spurred Congress to modify the Volstead Act, thus allowing for the legal consumption of beer of a specific alcoholic strength. This was eight months before the December 5 repeal of prohibition for other liquors.
The Brewers Association has dubbed this day Brew Years Eve. Brew Years Eve celebrates a time when beer was the lone legal libation. On April 7, Americas craft brewers will host Brew Years Eve celebrations recognizing a time when beer was the lone legal libation.
