Beer Repeal Begins Prohibition's End

April 7th, 1933 91 years ago

Beer with no more than 3.2% alcohol by weight was legalized, marking a significant shift in American alcohol policy. This legislative change followed a long period of Prohibition that banished alcohol sales and consumption. The move was part of the broader effort to stabilize the economy during the Great Depression and restore tax revenues lost due to the ban. Celebrated as National Beer Day, this event foreshadowed the complete repeal of Prohibition with the forthcoming Twenty-first Amendment.
