From the Brewers' Association, came in today's "AHA Tech Talk" email:
On Saturday, April 7th at 10:00 p.m. EDT on A&E make sure not to miss
the airing of "The American Brew: The Rich and Surprising History of
Beer in America." Presented by Here's to Beer, this Florentine Film
Production traces the history of beer in America. Park yourself in
front of the TV and celebrate America's brewing heritage.
The premiere coincides with the anniversary of the Repeal of
Prohibition. It was on this date in 1933 that newly elected President
Roosevelt spurred Congress to modify the Volstead Act, thus allowing for
the legal consumption of beer of a specific alcoholic strength. This
was eight months before the December 5th repeal of prohibition for other
liquors.
The Brewers Association has dubbed this day Brew Year's Eve. 'Brew Years
Eve' celebrates a time when beer was the lone legal libation. On April
7, America's craft brewers will host 'Brew Years Eve' celebrations
recognizing the repeal of prohibition for beer. Visit

Brew Year's Eve and to find celebrations in your area.

I think we should make a poster for Rebecca's party. I mean meeting.
But Reecca would have to OK that first since it's her house and it's
polite to ask before putting up posters around town inviting all manner
of who knows what kind of people!? Beer Lovers, probably!
