National Beer Day is celebrated on the anniversary of the date that beer once again began being served, in 1933, after over thirteen years of Prohibition. Franklin Roosevelt signed the Cullen-Harrison Act on March 22, 1933, which said that beer with up to 3.2% alcohol content by weight could again be sold, as long as states passed their own laws allowing the selling of beer. After signing the law Roosevelt said, "I think this would be a good time for a beer," and the new law went into effect on April 7. People gathered outside of breweries and taverns the night before beer became legal, waiting for their opening at midnight. On the first National Beer Day, 1.5 million barrels of beer were consumed. Prohibition was not fully repealed until December, when the Eighteenth Amendment was done away with, and the Twenty-first Amendment went into effect. The modern-day celebration of National Beer Day started in 2009, after Justin Smith started a Facebook page for it. The day has since been recognized by elected officials.
Beer making can be traced to about 6,000 years ago in ancient Sumeria. At the time beer was cloudy because of lack of filtering, and it was drunk through a straw. By 2000 BCE, the Babylonians were brewing 20 types of beer. The Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans made beer, although wine became much more popular with the Romans. They considered beer to be the drink of the Barbarians; beer was only popular on the edges of the Empire. Germanic groups were brewing beer by 800 BCE.
Because of contamination, beer was a much safer drink than water during the Middle Ages; it was drunk by people of all ages from all classes. The Catholic Church even got involved with brewing beer, and abbeys were testing grounds for improvements in brewing. Beginning in the ninth century, in Germany, hops began being introduced, standards were set up for beer, and it began being mass-brewed. The 1516 Beer Purity Law—Reinheitsgebot—said a certain level of quality must be met for German beer. All beer could only be made with water, hops, malted barley, malted wheat, and yeast.
In the 1800s, Louis Pasteur discovered the role of yeast in the fermentation process, as well as pasteurization. Soon came along automatic bottling, commercial refrigeration, and railroads. All of these advancements allowed beer to be more easily produced and distributed. By 1880, there were 3,200 breweries in the United States. Prohibition closed them, but today there are almost as many breweries as there were in 1880, aided in part by the rise in the number of small craft breweries.
How to Observe
Celebrate the day by drinking beer! The best way to do it is to enter a bar right at midnight, just as it was done in 1933. In reality, to stay true to the spirit of the day, beer should only be drank if it is 3.2% alcohol or less. There are many brands of beer you could try, from many different breweries. Try a craft beer you've never had before, or do some homebrewing.

在禁酒已有十三年之久的1933年，再次开始供应啤酒的周年纪念日是庆祝国家啤酒日的周年纪念日。富兰克林·罗斯福（Franklin Roosevelt）于1933年3月22日签署了《库伦-哈里森法案》，其中规定，只要各州通过了允许销售啤酒的法律，就可以再次出售酒精含量按重量计高达3.2％的啤酒。罗斯福签署法律后说：“我认为这是喝啤酒的好时机，”新法律于4月7日生效。人们在啤酒成为合法的前一天晚上聚集在酿酒厂和酒馆外面，等待开张。在午夜。在首个“全国啤酒节”上，消耗了150万桶啤酒。直到12月，第18条修正案被废止，第21条修正案生效后，禁令才被完全废除。贾斯汀·史密斯（Justin Smith）在Facebook上建立了相应页面之后，现代的国家啤酒日庆祝活动始于2009年。此后，这一天已被民选官员认可。啤酒酿造可以追溯到大约6000年前的古代Sumeria。当时，由于缺乏过滤，啤酒浑浊，然后用吸管喝了。到公元前2000年，巴比伦人开始酿造20种啤酒。埃及人，希腊人和罗马人酿造啤酒，尽管葡萄酒在罗马人中越来越受欢迎。他们认为啤酒是野蛮人的饮料。啤酒仅在帝国的边缘流行。日耳曼人的团体在公元前800年开始酿造啤酒。由于受到污染，在中世纪，啤酒比水更安全。各个年龄段的人们都喝醉了。天主教会甚至参与酿造啤酒，修道院正在测试改善酿造的场所。从九世纪开始，在德国开始引入啤酒花，建立啤酒标准，并开始大量酿造啤酒。 《 1516年啤酒纯度法》（Reinheitsgebot）规定，德国啤酒必须达到一定的质量水平。所有啤酒只能用水，啤酒花，麦芽大麦，麦芽小麦和酵母制成。1800年代，路易斯·巴斯德（Louis Pasteur）发现了酵母在发酵过程以及巴氏杀菌中的作用。很快出现了自动装瓶，商业制冷和铁路运输。所有这些进步使啤酒更易于生产和分销。到1880年，美国共有3200家啤酒厂。禁酒令关闭了它们，但如今，小型啤酒厂的数量增加，在一定程度上使啤酒厂的数量与1880年的数量一样。如何观察喝啤酒庆祝这一天！最好的方法是像1933年一样，在午夜时分进入酒吧。实际上，要忠于当今的精神，只有酒精度在3.2％以下的啤酒才可以喝。您可以尝试来自许多不同啤酒厂的许多品牌的啤酒。尝试从未有过的精酿啤酒，或做些自酿啤酒。
猪肉坏了，会臭，牛羊肉放时间久了会有一点酸味，不会臭，所以确实是没有菌，所以可以吃半生的。
对吧？
谨慎好，人众莫多言，有路莫乘船。未晚先投宿，鸡鸣早看天。。。。。
