Sound like a joke? Well, it's not. As noted yesterday, in 1979 then-President Jimmy Carter was the one who deregulated the beer industry, which opened the doors up for craft brewing in the United States. The laws after prohibition meant a tightly-controlled government hold on brewing. Thanks to Jimmy Carter, we can now all enjoy the plethora of craft beer we have available to us today.
