American Home Brewing History

Home Brewing is an art that traces back to the earliest human civilizations. Developing steadily over the ages. Until the Industrial Revolution.  Which provided many gifts and opportunities to home brewers. These advancements and equipment allowed brewers to craft new brews with a variety of malts. Birthing new styles, notably, pale ale and amber ale.

In 1920, the Prohibition brought brewing advancements to a halt. Prohibition era brewers faced challenges acquiring supplies. These brewing warriors faced hardship even after the repeal of the Prohibition in 1933.

It wasn’t until 1978 that the United States 39th President, Jimmy Carter, signed H. R. 1337, which legalized any adult to produce beer for personal or family use.

Since then home brewing has developed into a highly technological industry. Enabling the crafting of the finest artisan beers the world has ever drank.
