Home brewing is what saves the main character in my book I'm writing from the FEMA camps. The well-healed people got him to brewing craft beer for them. And it's illegal to bottle or can it so folks can't take it home. you have to go to the pub.
That being said, I can most certainly see where these huge corporations would love to screw everybody that home brews. Cutting into the bottom line and all that nonsense.
The Lawyer fees alone that InBev would have to pay just to have them sit down and discuss this with the FDA would be more than what they lose in revenue because people are brewing their own.
All this assuming that the FDA would be the the governing body in which to get these sort of regulation...and it is not, as MalFet points out.
AB InBev sponsors an employee home brewing club and annually provides free hops to home brewers who visit the St. Louis brewery (this was actually last weekend, as much as you could carry). The company seems far from anti-home brewing.

That's pretty cool, first time I've heard that.
One scary thing with the FDA is that they have a lot of flexibility over what they do and can regulate. I'm a cigar smoker as well and that's a big battle we're facing - the FDA wants to regulate premium cigars. We said the same thing at first, "The FDA doesn't have any jurisdiction over cigars!" However, we're fighting against them now as they seem determined to get involved.
A 2009 law put all tobacco commerce (including cigars) explicitly under the FDA's regulatory mandate. Without that kind of action by congress, however, the FDA is just not in any position to license home brewers.
I think that was something from a story that uniondr wrotetagz said:But that doesn't explain the FEMA camps.
What is a FEMA camp?

This video is but one of many. Scary stuff we better be aware of. And that's "unionrdr". Spell checkers wanna change it to uniondr. The camps are woven into my story of the dystopian world we're headed for if we're not careful. At least home brewing saves the main character from the camps. But,dystopian societies being what they are,he has to bring it down. Change it back,or at least to something better. Another example of how beer saves the world!![]()
