New Beer's Eve

April 6^th every year is New Beers Eve. New Beers Eve is observed the night before National Beer Day falls on April 7^th in order to mark when the Cullen-Harrison Act was passed making the sale of beer legal in the United States, from April 7^th 1933. To celebrate the end of Prohibition, people gathered outside breweries and pubs the night before waiting in the dark to legally buy their beer. Since then, the night of April 6 has been recognized as New Beers' New Year's Eve. On that first day, 1.5 million cases of beer were consumed by residents, creating momentum for future holidays.

March 23th 1933 was the day the Cullen-Harrison Act was passed by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, which included legalization of beer with up to 3.2% alcohol as well as alcoholic beverages.
