HR 1337 is the name of the bill that President Jimmy Carter passed in 1978. The bill gave each state the ability to allow homebrewing, as long as each individual household produces less than 200 gallons each year. The explosion of U.S. micro brewery’s and craft brews since, is absolutely staggering. many of todays finest small batch brewers would not be in operation had they not had the chance to practice and perfect their techniques at home. Thank you President Carter for passing HR 1337. You have aided in giving birth to a great new American pastime that we can all appreciate. [ less ]
