national beer day

...was apparently April 7th....which means I'm late posting this. On April 7th, 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Cullen-Harrison Act into law, ending the 13 year long prohibition of alcohol in the United States. This is definitely news to me. Anyhoo, I recently visited Goose Island for a tour. For $10, a Cicerone (a beer sommelier) will give groups an extremely thorough explanation of the beer brewing process, the history of Goose Island and, the best part, a beer tasting. Bottoms up!
