Today is #NationalBeerDay!🍺 Why today of all days? Today in 1933 is when the Cullen-Harrison Act went into effect, amending the Volstead Act which prohibited alcohol sales since 1920. The Cullen-Harrison Act permitted the manufacture and sale of low-alcohol beer and wines, a key step towards the full repeal of Prohibition on December 5, 1933. Pictured here is Knapp's Saloon and Brewery on East King Street in Lancaster City, with a horse-drawn wagon full of beer kegs in front. (📸 General Collection, LancasterHistory) (fb)
