I'll drink to that!

On this day in 1933, the Twenty-First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States was ratified, repealing the Eighteenth Amendment, and therefore the Volstead Act.

EDIT: IN the Washington Hometown Forum on www.ar15.com, there's a thread about beer in which someone has declared that "fruit does not belong in beer."

Nevertheless, I have celebrated the occaision by enjoying a New Belgium Brewing Frambozen

(From the New Belgium Brewing website:)
Frambozen begins with the aroma of fresh red raspberries, followed by the ripe seductiveness of a fruity brown ale with depth and delicate malt notes. It is deep ruby in color, with flavors just as rich. Every year, New Belgium sends a delegate to the Pacific Northwest to oversee the process of turning freshly picked berries into a pure juice to be added in fermentation. The coming of Thanksgiving at New Belgium is ushered in with the first sighting of our cellar operators scuttling about, covered head to tow in a festive crimson berry wash.

"Head to tow"? Someone's copy editor needs to stop sampling the product before working...
