In 1978 Jimmy Carter passed a Bill to allow for Homebrewing in the United States. This shifted the landscape for those interested in making and drinking real beer with real flavor. 

This sparked a revolution and today we are seeing its manifestation. 

In 1978 there were only 40 breweries that were left in the United States that were owned by U.S. companies. 40. At our peak before prohibition we had nearly 4,000!

Fast forward to 2018 where we are nearly at 7,000 breweries across the US. 

 ABInbev and Miller Coors are no longer United States companies. However they want you to believe that they are by buying craft beer companies and selling them under the label or category of “craft”. 

CRAFT BEER BRANDS OWNED BY ABINBEV HERE

American Craft Breweries are now adopting the “Independent” label and putting it on cans and packaging in the marketplace. If you see an upside down bottle of beer that means its independently produced by an American Craft Brewer. 

We would never tell anyone what to drink, your preferences are your preferences. However we do want to let the world know that companies like ABInbev and Miller Coors engage in deceitful and abusive tactics.
