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 When Prohibition was repealed with the 21st Amendment, home wine-making was legalized.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.
