The modification of the Volstead Act allows beer to be sold once again. The modification changed the allowed alcohol percentage of a beverage from .05 to 3.2 allowing beer to be served once again. Over 1.5 million barrels of beer was consumed during the first 24-hours after the modification of the Act.

Today, the America’s craft brewers have reinvigorated US beer culture that had been wrecked by Prohibition. With more small breweries in America than even before Prohibition in the 1920’s, please take a moment, today, to toast America’s craft brewers.
Cheers!
