New beers eve

Sorry for the delay on getting this blog out a day late our marketing team had a few to many pints of social brew last night and forgot to post this. So back on topic new beers eve is an unofficial holiday in the United States to celebrate the end of prohibition. Prohibition was a dark time in the United States were all sales of alcohol were banned and it was illegal to drink. Those dark times lasted from 1920 to 1933.  We can all thank President Roosevelt in ending those dark times on April 6th 1933.  He was quoted in saying at 12:01pm "I think this would be a good time for a beer." Once he said that Anheuser-Busch delivered their beer directly to the president with their Clydesdale drawn carriages. We would also like to thank President Roosevelt for if he didn't end those dark days our brewery wouldn't be here any all the micro breweries like it. When it became legal to drink again the people flocked to their local pubs and circled the block with people who had a 13 year thirst for beer.  It was estimated that in the first 24 hours after it ended the thirsty people consumed  1.5 million gallons of beer. So midnight on Friday we will having a new beers eve party which leads into new beers day. If you are not able to attend please raise a pint to the end of prohibition preferably a micro brew but any brew will do.
