NATIONAL BEER DAY: When FDR used BEER to HEAL a BROKEN NATION

NATIONAL BEER DAY: When FDR used BEER to HEAL a BROKEN NATION!

Crack open a cold one and join Paul (Certified Cicerone®) and Jennifer (Certified Beer Server) for a historic pour in this brand-new episode of A Couple of Beers! 🍺 They're celebrating National Beer Day with a deep dive into how President Franklin D. Roosevelt helped heal a fractured country—one beer at a time. After years of Prohibition, the signing of the Cullen–Harrison Act on April 7, 1933 marked the beginning of America’s return to legal beer. It wasn’t just a policy change—it was a cultural moment that united a nation in celebration!

Join Paul and Jennifer as they sip and chat about the beer styles Americans were drinking that day, how breweries bounced back from the brink, and why "New Beers Eve" (April 6th) is a thing. You’ll hear stories of crowded bars, and how FDR’s simple toast—“I think this would be a good time for a beer”—changed everything.

Whether you're a homebrewer, a craft beer geek, or a lover of history with a pint in hand, this is one episode you won't want to miss. Hit that play button and raise your glass with us!
