Man seeks Supreme Court review of old homebrew ban
John Ream, an Ohio resident and former aerospace engineer, is challenging the federal ban on home distillation of spirits, a law dating back to 1868. While making beer and wine at home is legal, distilling spirits such as whiskey or gin remains prohibited, carrying penalties. Ream's case has reached the U.S. Supreme Court after conflicting decisions by federal appellate courts, raising questions about Congress's authority to restrict personal, non-commercial activities under federal tax laws.
