I'm about to drop some history on you… and provide an additional example as to why FDR was one progressive and effective President.
On April 7, 1933, the Cullen-Harrison Act was enacted (signed by FDR) and allowed for the legal sale of low-alcohol beer in the US, several months before Prohibition was completely repealed.
Showing a solid sense of humor, FDR upon signing the legislation said, “I think this would be a good time for a beer,” noting the end to the nation’s 13-year-long dry spell.
Benjamin Franklin was a solid supporter of a good beer too, as evidenced by the quote above. There's a reason he's on the $100 bill yet wasn't a President (ok so there are several reasons but this is a good one).
So to honor today's holiday and give you a shot to win tickets to WWE Smackdown Live, I want to know your favorite beer and your favorite place to enjoy it. Weigh in on social media or at 559-228-1041.
Happy Friday!
