It's kind of crazy to think that as recently as 40 years ago,

if you wanted to make beer in your home,

you'd have to break the law.

Thankfully, in 1978, it became legal on the federal level

for people to home brew,

but unfortunately, this didn't include everyone as certain states continued to

restrict this natural right.

But this all ended in 2013 when the last two holdouts Mississippi and Alabama passed

law as making it okay for people to make beer at home.

For the first time since prohibition, it was legal to homebrew in all 50 of the United States.

This was due in large part to the dedication and hard work of the American Home Brewers Association.

In addition to continuing the fight for our right to brew, they're committed to growing the hobby by coordinating events such as Big Brew for National Homebrew Day and Homebrew Con.

We're proud to say that the Brulosophy Podcast is brought to you by the American Homebrewers Association

and encourage all of our listeners to support the organization that has done so much for joining us on this the 40th episode of the Brulosophy podcast.

It seems like just yesterday we were planning this whole thing out and here we are pushing out

number 40.

It's been a lot of work but it's been a lot more fun and we really hope all of you are digging what it is that we've

been doing. I'm your host Marshall Schott and in sticking with our plan to dedicate every

10th episode to answering your questions, contributor Jake Houlahan is with me

for our fourth Bruin A show.

What's up, Jake?

Hey, Marshall, not much.
