Title supplied by cataloger. Shown is Eastside Brewery, located at 1920-2026 E. Main Street in Lincoln Heights.; The Beer Bill, put into effect on April 7, 1933, was the first step in dismantling the National Prohibition Act. A few months later, on December 5, 1933, the Twenty-First Amendment was ratified, completely repealing the act. Photograph caption dated March 17, 1933 reads, "Thousands of kegs are being washed, sterilized and soaked to tighten their joints as they are made ready to be filled by machinery that has lain idle for years and to be sent out when beer is legalized. The national brewing industry is expanding $100,000,000 on new equipment for immediate delivery, according to estimates by brewery experts, while the revenue yield to the government by taxation on beer is expected to reach $150,000,000 annually. The beer bill will become a law 15 days after it is signed by President Roosevelt."
