President Jimmy Carter, who did not drink much alcohol at all, is largely responsible for the craft brewing culture and industry in the United States today.
"With the stroke of President Carter's pen, the enactment of HR 1337 fueled nationwide interest in home brewing, which in turn set the stage for the first generation of small brewery owners," Brewers Association CEO Bob Pease told Fox News Digital via email this week.

The Brewers Association is a Colorado-based trade organization with a mission "to promote and protect American craft brewers, their beers and the community of brewing enthusiasts," according to its website.
