Changes

Prior to prohibition, thousands of small breweries existed throughout the United States. Post prohibition, beer brewing was dominated by just a handful of major brewers making a small selection of beer styles - usually Pilsners with large amounts of rice and corn added. After President Carter lifted the prohibition on homebrewing in 1978, the resurgence of homebrewing brought with it a new demand for beer styles from throughout the world. Meeting this need, microbreweries and brewpubs started to pop up throughout the country providing a huge selection of beer styles. Some of the more successful small breweries eventually expanded to become regional breweries.
