The article completely disregards the effect of Prohibition on the US brewing industry. Only the very biggest brewers were able to weather the storm when alcohol was banned... the rest went under, quickly. This created what amounted to brewing cartels, and essentially short-circuited the capability of the market to respond to what consumers wanted.

Kind of hard to believe that government would get in anyone's way, or waste their time... /s
