Death and re-birth of Alabama beer

Richard White

Business History, 2016, vol. 58, issue 5, 785-795

Abstract: The article provides a historical overview of Alabama beer production to the first state-wide prohibition in 1909. I discuss the legislative processes, including the second state-wide prohibition, the US national prohibition and repeal, and Alabama's return to local option rule for alcohol sales. The article describes the legal changes of the 1992 Brewpub Act that created the re-birth of Alabama breweries/brewpubs in the early 1990s and discusses the recent legislative changes and issues that have encouraged entrepreneurs to enter the Alabama marketplace.
