Cheers for Beers!
by GoComics
On April 7, 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Cullen-Harrison Act into law, legalizing the sale of beer for the first time since Prohibition began in 1920.
Naturally, thirsty Americans responded to the good news with a nationwide kegger, and we've been celebrating ever since.
For those of you keeping score at home, that means April 6 is New Beer's Eve!
How should you celebrate this glorious holiday duo? We have some suggestions, courtesy of our publishing division!
More approachable than cheese and wine, but more refined than wings and beer, Janet Fletcher's "Cheese and Beer" provides a comprehensive guide to pairing artisan cheese with craft beer. Follow Fletcher's advice to build your own cheese platter, or choose one of her themed platters to make entertaining (and celebrating!) a snap.
Perfect for the drinker with a baking problem (or the baker with a beer tooth), "Cookies and Beer" is the first cookbook to bring together two things that never should have been separated in the first place. "Cookies and Beer" features dozens of cookie recipes, each with a specific craft beer pairing, as well as a more general pairing suggestion.
As FDR said, "I think this would be a good time for a beer." Cheers!
