Supreme Court to Review Constitutionality of Civil War-Era Federal Ban on Home Distilleries

The U.S. Supreme Court has announced it will review a federal law from 1868 that bans the distillation of spirits in private homes. This decision follows conflicting rulings from the Fifth and Sixth Circuit Courts of Appeals regarding the constitutionality of the Civil War-era prohibition. Oral arguments in the case are anticipated in early 2027.
