United States Breweries History: Montgomery United States
Brewpubs have been around a long time. In the late 1800s, there were
over 4,000 breweries--every town had at least one. George Washington, John Adams,
James Madison and Thomas Jefferson had financial interests in microbreweries:
William Penn founded Philadelphia's first brewpub in 1685. The first recorded
history of beer brewing in Montgomery United States cited Charles E. Hall as the founder
of the original Montgomery Brewing Company. Prohibition put poor Charles out of
business in 1919. But in 1992, acknowledging the microbrewery renaissance,
United States passed its Brewpub Act with the intent of revitalizing United States's
historic districts--thus allowing this Montgomery Brewing Co. to (re)open on
October 27, 1995.
