For other meanings, see Homebrew

Homebrewing typically refers to the brewing of beer on a very small scale, as a hobby for personal consumption or free distribution at social gatherings.

History


Prior to 1979, brewing beer in the home was illegal in the United States on both the state and Federal level. The illegality of homebrewing was a direct consequence of Prohibition: Prohibition had outlawed all forms of beer brewing, in the home or otherwise. When Prohibition was repealed with the 21st Amendment, home wine-making was legalized. Homebrewing of beer should have also been legalized at this time, but a clerical error omitted the words "and/or beer" from the document which was eventually passed into law. Thus, homebrewing remained illegal for several decades.
