How are you celebrating #NationalBeerDay? We’re giving thanks for homebrewers. ?
During Prohibition, homebrewing was one way Americans could still have a cold one—although the quality was not guaranteed. “If prohibition fails to kill beer outright, amateur home-brewing may yet finish it off,” quipped American author Bob Brown.
However, homebrewing had the opposite effect. When Prohibition ended on April 7, 1933, big breweries purchased smaller breweries, emphasis was placed on efficiency and uniformity, and American beer homogenized. Pale, light lager became American beer. ?
Homebrewing provided the perfect counterpoint to homogenous mid-20th century American beer. Enthusiasts experimented, adapting hardware store equipment and repurposing supermarket ingredients to make better beer. In the 1970s Charlie Papazian, the “godfather” of American homebrewing, published a whimsical guide on the subject, founded the American Homebrewers Association, and inspired millions with his maxim, "Relax. Don't worry. Have a homebrew." ?

This experimentation paved the way for America’s more than 6,000 craft breweries and 1.1 million homebrewers today.
