Celebrate National Beer Day: 6 Unique and Memorable Ideas

Is it necessary to have a designated day to celebrate beer? Absolutely! Franklin Delano Roosevelt knew what was important when he took office in 1933 and signed the Cullen-Harrison Act, which legalized the sale and consumption of low-alcohol beer and began the process of repealing Prohibition. Upon signing the act, FDR remarked, “I think this would be a good time for a beer.”

We couldn't agree more! On April 7, let's salute the day the law went into effect by celebrating National Beer Day. Here are five fantastic ways to relax and raise a glass to the occasion.


Step back in time

Learning can be a blast, especially at the American Prohibition Museum in Savannah’s City Market. This lively museum is dedicated to one of the most peculiar periods in American history and covers a variety of Prohibition-related topics, from the Temperance Movement to Repeal Day, as well as moonshine, flapper culture, and Al Capone. Don't forget to visit Congress Street Up, a speakeasy inside the museum that serves authentic 1920s cocktails.

Try all the samples

While enjoying a beer on National Beer Day is great, imagine having the opportunity to sample 500 craft beers! Since 2010, Las Vegas has hosted the Great Vegas Festival of Beer to celebrate this special day. Here, you can indulge in hundreds of beers from some of the best craft breweries, both local and from far-flung places. The festival also offers educational sessions, food trucks, and a karaoke lounge. Located in the heart of downtown Las Vegas, you can continue the celebration well after the festival ends with plenty of exciting things to do.

Follow the trail

The Sunshine State of Florida is giving California's wine country a run for its money with the St. Pete/Clearwater Craft Beer Trail. This impressive trail boasts over 30 breweries within an hour's drive along the Gulf Coast, including the renowned 7venth Sun Brewing in Dunedin and Cycle Brewing in St. Petersburg. Visit a few of these breweries, or aim for the stars with a Gulp Coast Craft Brewery Passport. With a stamp from every brewery, you can earn a prize. So, follow the trail and let the good times flow!

Celebrate all month long

For beer enthusiasts, North Carolina is a dream destination. With dozens of small taprooms in and around Asheville, as well as the large East Coast outposts of Sierra Nevada and New Belgium, the state has something for everyone. One of the best times to visit is during North Carolina Beer Month, when you can celebrate beer for a whole month. Organized by the state's tourism board, April is packed with beer-themed events, tastings, and travel deals all across the state. Whether you're a local or a visitor, be sure to mark your calendar and join the festivities.

Tour a brewery

While there are many brewery tours you could take on National Beer Day, few can offer as much history as Anchor Brewing. Established in 1896, it's the oldest craft brewery in America. Its rise to national prominence came in the 1960s when entrepreneur Fritz Maytag took over. With a renewed emphasis on quality, Maytag revitalized the struggling brewery, igniting a craft beer revolution that would soon sweep the nation. If you plan on visiting, make sure to book a 90-minute tour in advance as they tend to fill up quickly. This is a tour that you won't want to miss!

Wearing a beer-themed

Wearing a beer-themed t-shirt or hoodie on National Beer Day is a fantastic way to express your love for this beloved beverage. Moreover, you could consider taking it up a notch by wearing a custom-printed button-up shirt with your favorite brewery's logo or a beer-related design.
