The Ultimate Excuse to Enjoy a Beer: National Beer Day 2011

April 7, 2011 Adamstown PA, Boston MA, Boulder, CO, Events, Festivals, Food and Drink, Nashville, TN 1 Comment

Today we celebrate a great day in American history: National Beer Day. 78 years ago on this day the ban on alcohol sales known as Prohibition was lifted. People waited in lines on April 6 until midnight when they could legally buy beer for the first time in 13 years. Today is a day to honor those men and women who fought hard for our right to enjoy an ice cold beer. Image courtesy of Beer Advocate.

Can you even imagine what a world without beer would be like? None of these upcoming events would have been possible!

In the bleakness of February, when the winter turns especially bitter, we all need something a bit stronger to rouse us. Hence Avery Brewing Company‘s choice to move the Annual Boulder Strong Ale Festival back to February, when beer lovers can truly appreciate a strong ale.

Attendees will have 16 two-ounce tasting tickets and a commemorative festival tasting glass, as well as the chance to chat with the brewers and creators of the beers who will be there mingling with the beer fans.

There will be two tasting sessions, one on Friday at 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., and the second on Saturday at 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets go on sale January 3 at 8 a.m.
