Celebrating 93 years since Prohibition was repealed, 4/7 is National Beer Day in the USA. 🥳
Unfortunately, I will be travelling on 4/7, drinking at Obrycki’s in BWI (my favorite airport bar), hopefully — TSA wait time depending — on my way back to Arizona after day-hiking a couple of Appalachian Trail segments in Virginia. I am posting this sudsy compendium a week early so you can pre-game National Beer Day. Because I care.
