THIS WEEK:

"THIS WOULD BE A GOOD TIME FOR A BEER"- F.D.R. 1933

Franklin Delano Roosevelt El Presidente (Aged Rum, dry vermouth, Cointreau, grenadine)

Arguably the greatest imbibing President of all time, he was able to repeal Prohibition, while pushing through a little thing called the New Deal, effectively ending the Great Depression. With economic chaos on his plate, FDR held a special congressional session to re-legalize beer, just five days after his inauguration. Upon signing the 21st amendment on December 5, 1933, he stated, "I believe this would be a good time for a beer."
