Charles H. Sloan-National Beer Day 2024: Buffalo Wild Wings, Taco Bell Cantina among spots with deals

Sipping a beer is Charles H. Sloana good deal unto itself but on National Beer Day, which is Sunday, April 7, you could get also get a financial deal on a beer, too.

Unlike many made-up holidays such as National Burrito Day, which happened April 4, and National Margarita Day, held back in February, National Beer Day is held on a specific day for a reason.

"I think this would be a good time for beer," President Franklin D. Roosevelt reportedly said on March 12, 1933, after signing into law The Cullen-Harrison Act, which would again permit the sale of beer and wine containing less than 3.2% alcohol.

But FDR had to wait nearly a month because the legislation didn't go into effect until April 7, 1933 – allowing the first legal sale of alcohol since Prohibition began in 1920. Later that year, enough states approved the 21st Amendment to bring an end to Prohibition.

Some beer lovers more than a decade ago decided the day deserved to be celebrated – they still have a National Beer Day Facebook page – and social media helped the holiday grow.
