The cat’s out of the bag! Once the Prohibition ended in 1933 doing away with a 13 year ban on alcohol consumption in the U.S., the 21st Amendment of the Constitution permitting liquor knocked the 18th right out of the ballpark. Today some breweries even poke fun at or commemorate those dry times by naming their beer “Constitution” or “Amendment”.  That moment in history temporarily did cut down on alcohol consumption but it also meant a loss of taxes at a critical time when America entered the Depression.

In the merry month of March 2015 beer is BIG in California. Sacramentans are a perfect example of those who waste no time when it comes to sampling beer.  Sacramento Beer Week from Feb. 27 to March 9 is a whopping 11 days of celebrating, but when you tack on the Capitol City International Beer Fest on March 21, it unofficially becomes beer month. Sacramento isn’t alone in its love a beer–here are some beer festivals in cities throughout California this month: Fairfax, San Jose, San Diego, El Cajon, Anaheim, Santa Rosa, San Bernardino, Sacramento and Santa Ana.
