Excellent post! Prohibition was repealed over 70 years ago and America only recently started to return to its local brewery traditions.

I once wrote a college history paper on MN’s brew history...pretty cool that the cave bluffs on the Mississippi were once cooling and storage for major breweries at the turn of the 20th century in St.Paul/MPLS.

Jacquerie,
The Wife and I travel quite a bit and make it a point to search out local brew pubs.
Did you know here in florida the big three miller bud and bush have locked out small breweries?
They got to the Fla congress and made laws for size of bottles and cans allowed and lobied so you can’t take and open bottle like a growler?
Sort of like did what they could to stack the deck.
also, try to buy brewpub beer on line.
