TheCullen–Harrison Act, named for its sponsors, SenatorPat Harrison and RepresentativeThomas H. Cullen, enacted by theUnited States Congress on March 21, 1933, and signed by PresidentFranklin D. Roosevelt the following day, legalized the sale in the United States of beer with analcohol content of3.2% (by weight) and wine of similarly low alcohol content, thought to be too low to be intoxicating, effective April 7, 1933. Upon signing the legislation, Roosevelt made his famous remark, "I think this would be a good time for a beer."^[1]^[2]

According to the Cullen–Harrison Act, states had to pass their own similar legislation to legalize sale of the low alcohol beverages within their borders. Roosevelt had previously sent a short message to Congress requesting such a bill. Sale of even low alcohol beer had been illegal in the U.S. sinceProhibition started in 1920 following the 1919 passage of theVolstead Act.^[3] Throngs gathered outsidebreweries andtaverns to celebrate the return of3.2 beer.^[4] The passage of the Cullen–Harrison Act is celebrated asNational Beer Day every year on April 7 in the United States.
