Easter is over, and Memorial Day continues to be many weeks off, thus why not celebrate the beverage that creates everybody additional attractive?
"That feels like a made-up Hallmark vacation," said Dave Swartz, owner of Coasters pub and Biergarten beachside on Eau Gallie street. "I wasn't aware. however we'll be serving beer."
According to that bastion of all truths, the internet, National beer Day came into being on April 7, 1933. Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt had taken the primary step toward ending Prohibition. For the first time in 13 years, people were allowed to shop for and sell beer, as long as it had less than 4 % alcohol by volume.
On New Beer's Eve — a.k.a Monday — Shelley Hudson, product manager and a bartender at Village idiot pub in Cocoa Village, was planning for Tuesday celebrations.
Patrons who miss work on Tuesday will get notes for the boss: "To whom it should concern: we regret to tell you that your worker won't be attending work today because of National beer Day."
"We'll be giving happy hour prices all day," Hudson told.
The pub celebrated its grand opening in January with a Prohibition-era theme, thus its owners are all too happy to celebrate the end of the 1900s ban on booze.
"I assume i will have a beer tomorrow," said Dave Zimmerman, who was sipping from a glass at the vip.
"I came here from New Jersey," the Merritt Island resident said. i was pleasantly shocked at the number of various beers in Florida. i assumed i would just find Miller lite and Coors, however i love Florida Beers."
Elliot Watson of richmond, Virginia, was also spending New Beer's Eve at the vip.
"Where I live, there's a large craft beer community," he said. He'll be celebrating National beer Day by visiting bay and making a stop at Cycle production.
Tuesday is trivia Night at Runaway tavern, formerly Crispy's, in Rockledge.
"So plenty of our regulars will be here anyway," said Carrie Vitale, who bought the bar with partner Steve Brozny in February. "But we might incorporate (National beer Day) into one of our prizes."
Vitale said she received an email concerning the day from one of her beer distributors.
"I don't assume it's a massive event in our circles," said Jim Massoni, president and chief officer of Florida beer Co. in cape Canaveral.
After serving to organize the Brewmaster's invitational at Port Canaveral on April four, he's currently gearing up for american Craft beer Week, which will be may 11-15.
"That's once the craft beer industry has some pomp and circumstance around the beer," he said. "We'll have events and tastings during that, wo we get a whole week instead of a day."
Massoni chuckled, and admitted that after fourteen years in the beer business, he was slightly embarrassed National beer Day wasn't on his radar.
"Heck, we'll do one thing," he said. "We'll blow it up on social media and see what happens."
Fred Forsley, owner and president of sea dog brewing Co. and shipyard brewing Co., had lunch with Massoni on Tuesday. He also was in the about dark regarding the importance of Tuesday.
"I'm a little concerned i might be missing something," the Winter Park and Clear water resident said.
He's been in the beer business for twenty three years, with brew pubs in metropolis, Clear water and Maine.
"You know, anything that draws attention to beer is a sensible factor," he said.
Of course Massoni, Forsley and different brew of us within the space say any day could be a adios to fancy beer
