Yard House At Battery Atlanta Has $3 Pints On National Beer Day

SMYRNA, GA -- The Yard House at The Battery Atlanta is offering $3 pints all day on Sunday, April 7, which is National Beer Day.

On April 7, 1933, the Cullen-Harrison Act signed by President Franklin Roosevelt went into effect – allowing beer to be legally manufactured and sold in the U.S. once again, as long as it remained below 4.0% alcohol by volume – and beginning the official repeal of Prohibition.

According to National Day Calendar, National Beer Day was created by Justin Smith, a Richmond, Virginia, craft beer examiner, and his friend Mike Connolly from Liverpool, England. April 7 was chosen because the Cullen-Harrison Act was signed into law and became active on that day.

In 2009, Smith and Connolly created a National Beer Day Facebook page. From this page, they invited friends to join, and word has spread to many sources that April 7 is National Beer Day.
