Home Distilling Legal

Recommended Posts

Not sure where to put this, but a federal judge overturned a century-old federal prohibition on home distilling spirits

 

The Hobby Distillers Association, an organization with 1,300 members, filed the lawsuit against the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau and Department of Justice (DOJ) to challenge the ban and they won! 

 

This will be appealed by the Feds, no doubt...but for the time being, we can all distill up our own hooch!

 

Here's the Judge's opinion

The judge stayed the decision for 14 days to allow the government to appeal the decision so I think it is technically still illegal during the 14 days.
