It’s National Beer Day: Have You Had Your Two Beers This Week???

April 7 is, apparently, National Beer Day, marking the effective date of the Cullen-Harrison Act, when, prior to the official end of Prohibition on December 5, 1933, Americans could return to purchasing beer that was no stronger than 4.05 percent ABV…

Here’s what a very nice flack sent me this morning…read the stats and ask yourself “Have I truly done my part for American beer consumption???”

Did you know:

69 percent of Americans drink two or more bottles of beer a week. That’s at least 104 beers per person per year!

To conduct the NationalToday.com Beer Day Survey, the researchers at National Today —America’s favorite online destination to commemorate quirky and fun holidays—asked 1,100 Americans ages 21+ about their feelings on everyone’s favorite hoppy holiday.
