From yesterbeer.com:
At 12:01 AM on April 7, 1933 – after 13 years of prohibition – legal beer went on sale in 19 states and the District of Columbia. In the first 24 hours an estimated 1.5 million barrels of beer were enjoyed by the exuberant masses! Proprietors sold beer at five cents a glass or ten cents a bottle. Grocery stores sold beer for $2 a case of 24 pints. Night clubs held special parties and cities hosted midnight celebrations to welcome the return of legal beer. Official repeal followed 8 months later – but April 7th will forever be known as “Brew Year’s Eve”.
