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
www.BrewYearsEve.org to learn more about Brew Year's Eve and to find
celebrations in your area.
 
Cheers,
Michelle
Brewers Association
