Hi there

How big is this hobby in the U.S? Is it as big as in Canada?

Your response will be greatly appreciated.

You're best bet is to contact the association/organization that represents home brewers. Maybe there's a national organization or maybe there's only state organizations.

The FDA website might have some pointers.

Intersting though, got me thinking. Can you brew your own Beer (legally) here in the US though?
I remember doing it in England

Maybe. Search your State's Alcohol Board (in NC it's ABC) website.

Try this site, cheered me up, although it's $3 for a licence, but hey it's NJ, you need a permit to fart here

brewing beer is allowed...it's distilling that isn't allowed...but then again, it probably all depends on the state, and why moonshine is still kinda popular down south
