Happy Friday!

Celebrate Repeal Day!!

At the stroke of midnight, on January 16th, 1920, America went dry. There wasn't a place in the country (including your own home) where you could legally have even a glass of wine with your dinner without breaking the law. The 18th Amendment, known as the Volstead Act, prohibited the manufacture, sale and possession of alcohol in America. Prohibition lasted for thirteen years.

Over the course of the next thirteen years, support for Prohibition waned as the nation awoke to the widespread problems Prohibition had caused. The number of repeal organizations — many of which were comprised of former Prohibitionists — increased, and in 1932 Franklin Delano Roosevelt ran for President on a platform that included the repeal of Prohibition.

On December 5th, 1933, Utah, the final state needed for a three quarters majority, ratified the 21st Amendment, repealing Prohibition and restoring the American right to a celebratory drink.

The Golden Lion will be joining Americans all across the US in "Celebrating The Freedom". The freedom to have a drink, that is. Wherever you are, stop by your local pub for a beer or a cocktail. If you are in the area, we will be serving up Prohibition Era classics such as the Sidecar, the Rusty Nail, the Manhattan, the Stinger, and of course good old fashioned gin martinis.
