Step back in time and raise a glass to the rich history of draft beer. From the vintage ads of Fill up Your Stein (1905) and Beer Pedavena (1910s), to the whimsical illustrations of Albert Robida (1880) and Women Drinking Beer (1878), beer has been a source of joy and camaraderie for centuries. Through the ups and downs, from the anti-feminist sentiments of the past to the end of Prohibition in 1933, women have continued to celebrate with a frothy pint. Even during the dry years, New York City Deputy Police Commissioner John A. Leach and his agents poured liquor into the sewers, while Peggy Hopkins Joyce raised her glass in defiance. Today, we raise our glasses once more, as Uruguayan soccer star Andrade pours a fresh draft beer for his teammates – cheers to the enduring spirit of draft beer.
