Happy New Beers!!!

Ahhhh. Belch. The joy of drinking a beer without worrying that Joe Commando is gonna bust your wall down with thirty-six of his S.W.A.T. buddies. Why did they prohibit alcohol way back in the twenties anyway?

Well thats all over and done with now. But 75 years later, there is a lot to celebrate.

On April 7th, 1933, prohibition was removed, for the most part, and substituted with sweet refreshing drink. They threw out the near beer and started brewing again. Which by the way, provided thousands of jobs and boosted the economy after a few hard depressed years. Here is some of an article from CNN Living.

"When the act took effect at 12:01 a.m. ET April 7, trucks and carriages burst out of brewery gates bearing cases and barrels of beer for a parched republic -- at least for the District of Columbia and the 20 states whose laws permitted it. Several breweries dispatched cases directly to the White House and the Capitol."

I think it's funny how only 20 states would recover instantly from the virus infected by a nasty Miss Carrie Nation. The White House was getting beer and there were still states that wouldn't budge. Hilarious.

And as I understand it, Islamic faith goers are not aloud to partake. Well I am sure there are plenty that will gladly drink yours for you in a salutary and apologetic sort of way. So provided you live within the appealing lines of a "wet" county. Be sure to go out and buy some good old American cold ale or strong water, and support those descendants of great people that cared for the thirsty so long ago.

Also, be sure to pray that we never see another "dry" period in our lifetimes. I am praying right now. Dear God...please allow..................naked chicks...I mean...beer......
