Here in Chicago, most of us never realized there was such a thing as prohibition. Ask any old-timer: they simply say “What now? A ban!? Well I certainly don’t recall–seems to me that the bars were open as always. But now that you mention it, there were an aweful lot of passwords those days…”

I suppose we just celebrate our blatant disregard and disdain for un-Americanism. This means you, Blagojevich.

Just going to have a few with the folks. And it’s whiskey weather, so I’m gonna mix up a few (Great and Powerful) Manhattans.

It would be kind of nice to have an event to attend, like y’all have in them big cities (don’t get many cocktail parties in rural Arizona :) ), but there’s also something to be said for a quiet round with family.

I'll be mixing up Prohibition Era cocktails at Acadia, and using your site for free publicity! A winner is all of us. Have fun with Jacob at the Cato!

What better place to celebrate repeal day then at a distillery. We are shutting down the stills early today and hosting a party in our tasting room for all who are involved with our distillery.
Cheers,

We’re celebrating Repeal Day by raising money for our new brewery! It’s sheer coincidence, really…but what better way to boast of our freedom to drink than to help create a new brewery?

At door 74 here in Sunny Amsterdam, we’re gonnig to host a stealth Repeal Day party. We will dress like gentlemen, serve large amounts of strong, classic cocktails and talk of horseracing, boxing and (if no ladies are in earshot) ladies.

Actually, tat’s what we do all the time, but this time we’ll have Repeal Bitters and maybe raise a toast around midnight if we don’t get distracted and forget. Can you say “half-assed Repeal Day celebration”? We can!

Cheers,

Philip.

PS – Jeffrey, please say hello to the esteemed Jake Parrott from me, when you see him Friday – he visited us last night and was one of the coolest guests in ages, in a bar full of cool guests.

The Brown University Library for Digital Initiatives has an amazing online repository of material scanned in on subjects concerning alcohol, temperance, and prohibition. Very much worth taking a look at! Some pretty funny reading.

Hello, we are celebrating Repeal Day in the UK this year also, without it, your wonderful bartenders wouldn’t have travelled to Europe and brought their craft with them. Our Repeal Day event is at Miller’s Academy and is an evening hosted by Clive Aslet and Martin Miller’s Gin on the 3rd December (had to do it early as the Martin Miller’s team will then be travelling to DC).

Mark your calendar for December 5, the 75th anniversary of the Repeal of Prohibition. On Dec. 5, 1933, after 13 long years of bad homebrew and bathtub gin, the states ratified the 21st Amendment, which abolished the 18th Amendment, ending prohibition in America. To celebrate this momentous day, we’re hosting a Repeal Week Celebration at the 21st Amendment Brewery.

The 21st Amendment is located at 563 2nd St, San Francisco, CA
