Not to be confused with National Drink Beer Day (Sept. 28), International Beer Day (Aug. 1) or King Gambrinus Day (more on that below), today commemorates the beginning of the end of alcohol prohibition on April 7, 1933, when a law went into effect allowing the sale and consumption of beer with a lower alcohol content.
With the passage of the 21st Amendment months later, Prohibition was completely repealed on Dec. 5, 1933, now celebrated as the also-drinking-friendly Repeal Day.
“We celebrate it 365 days a year,” said Tim Costello, manager of 8 Degrees Plato in Ferndale. As such, they’re offering tastings of Clown Shoes, a Massachusetts brewery, today from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
