National Beer Day 2022: Where To Get A Pint In Carlsbad

CARLSBAD, CA — Thursdays are always “thirsty,” but this Thursday is National Beer Day. The unofficial holiday is observed every April 7 to commemorate the signing of the Cullen-Harrison Act in 1933, which eased Prohibition-era restrictions and permitted the manufacture of beer with up to 3.2% alcohol by weight.

Nine months later on December 5, Congress passed the 21st Amendment to the Constitution, which repealed Prohibition altogether.

In anticipation of the bill’s signing, people across the country gathered outside breweries. THe following day, April 7, 1.5 million barrels of beer were consumed. Upon signing the legislation, President Franklin D. Roosevelt famously said, “I think this would be a good time for a beer.”

We agree. Thursday is going to be a scorcher in Carlsbad, so what better way to cool down than to hit up one of its many craft breweries? We’ve compiled a list below of local breweries that are members of the Brewers Association and certified members of the Independent Craft Brewers Association.
