It has to do with brewery deregulation in 1979, during the Carter administration.

Between the cheaper flights thanks to airline deregulation and Billy Beer setting a new low mark, we got a lot of good things from those years of stagflation.

Just think: European breweries look to us. Michael Jackson, the late English writer, not the late musical sensation from Indiana, even said to look to America. We are in a golden age for beer innovation.
