How To Celebrate National Beer Day USA

Just like people, no two beers are alike, which makes beer quite a hobby for the connoisseur. Lucky for them (and for everybody, really) National Beer Day, a holiday recognized nationwide, is set to be celebrated on April 7, which is on a "Thirsty Thursday" if you're still hip to the college lingo. There are many ways you can celebrate National Beer Day without, you know, showing up to work on Friday with a massive hangover.

But before we go into those, let's talk a little bit about Franklin D. Roosevelt. Roosevelt signed the Cullen–Harrison Act back in 1933, which legalized the sale of low-alcohol beer in America and ended Prohibition. After the signing was complete, Roosevelt uttered the same phrase that most of us say every Friday at 5 p.m. — "I think this would be a good time for a beer." So, when we raise a glass on National Beer Day, we're truly celebrating the Cullen-Harrison Act and the wise words of Roosevelt, who understood how alcoholic beverages could be beneficial in moderation.

Even if you're not a drinker, there's still a good reason to celebrate beer. First off, it was thought to be one of the oldest beverages, dating back to 9500 BC. It's also a growing industry — it seems like new breweries and brands are popping up on a yearly basis, creating new brews to celebrate specific holidays, seasons, and even figures of pop culture. If you're a beer fan, you likely have a favorite, and feel the inspiration to be adventurous with brand new flavors.

This year, raise your glass and consider participating in a few of these beer-centric activities.
