Cheers to the end of Prohibition! 🍻

On this day in 1933, Prohibition was officially repealed, opening the door for a future where creativity, community, and craft beer could thrive. Raise a glass to Repeal Day and the vibrant craft beer industry it made possible! 🍻

This happy memory happened 13 years ago today! What a great time that was! Cheers to you, Jim & Jack!

Jim Koch and Jack "Little Jackie Snowflake" McAuliffe. (Jim said Jack was the snowflake that started the American craft beer avalanche, and Jack took ownership of the title.)

Cheers to House of Guinness!

☘️ Today Ireland raises a glass to a very special 300th birthday: Arthur Guinness. Born in 1725, Arthur signed a 9,000-year lease on a small Dublin brewery. The stout he created went on to circle the globe, but the story lives on in the heart of Dublin. At the Guinness Storehouse, you can follow that story from grain to glass, learn the secrets of the perfect pour, see how the flavour comes together, and step through seven floors of brewing history.

His company, New Albion, was the first American microbrewery since Prohibition. It helped inspire the creators of Sierra Nevada, Sam Adams and Dogfish Head.

Jack's contributions to brewing remembered today in the New York Times:

His New Albion Brewing Company, founded in 1976, was considered the first microbrewery. It set the model for thousands more to come.
