December 5, 4:30 - 7:30 PM at Brusin' Ales, 66 Broadway Street in Asheville NC. In celebration of Repeal Day, Brusin' Ales will have special Monday hours to launch the long-awaited 21st Amendment Brewery from San Francisco, California. The entire line comes in can.
In 2000, Nico Freccia and Shaun O'Sullivan founded the 21st Amendment Brewery in San Francisco's historic South Park neighborhood. The popular brewpub is now at the heart of the new city center, just south of the financial district and only two blocks from the San Francisco Giants baseball park. In addition to eight rotating taps of multiple award-winning hand-crafted house beers, the pub has been voted "Best Brewpub", "Best Burger" and "Best Happy Hour" by the San Francisco press.
The special Monday tasting will include:
Brew Free or Die (IPA) Brewed with some serious west coast attitude. This aromatic golden IPA starts with a sucker punch of six different hops to the nose, quickly balanced by a solid malt backbone., brave, defiant black.
Back in Black (Black IPA) Inspired by Paul Revere's midnight ride, we rebelled against the British style IPA, embraced the more aggressive American version and then recast it in bold.

Allies Win the War (Strong Ale brewed with Dates, Collaboration with Ninkasi Brewing). In a surprising turn of events, rival superpowers have joined forces to bring a beer of might to the world.
Repeal Day is celebrated on December 5th because on that date in 1933, Utah, the final state needed for a three quarters majority, ratified the 21st Amendment which repealed Prohibition and restored the American right to a celebratory drink. While the amendment still allowed for state and local levels of Prohibition, by 1966 there were no state laws actually banning alcohol.
The 21st Amendment repealed the 18th amendment enacted at the urging of a small but vocal group who believed that outlawing alcohol would ostensibly put an end to drunkenness, crime, mental illness, and poverty. For the thirteen years the 18th Amendment, Prohibition and the criminalization of alcohol led not only to a rise in civil delinquency and organized crime, but also to the loss of customs and revenues associated with the production, preparation, and consumption of alcohol.

In addition to restoring the rights of American Citizens to legally consume alcohol, Repeal Day celebrates all constitutional rights and serves as a reminder to all Americans what can happen when we allow a minority of self-serving zealots to deny the rights protected by the Constitution...I'll drink to that!
