Arkansas
The Statute
Statute § 3-5-210 has been amended by Senate Bill 636. Arkansas statute § 3-5-205 has been amended. Subsection (f)(1) allows the home production of beer on an individual's premises for consumption by family and guests but not for sale, in quantities not to exceed two hundred gallons per year if there are two or more adults in such household or one hundred gallons if there is only one adult in such household.
Summary
Arkansas has both Wet and Dry counties and municipalities. The state places tight control on alcoholic beverages. Senate Bill 636 on April 10, 1995 allows home production of beer. The law stipulates age 21 or older, the federal production limit is recognized, and alcoholic percentage is not to be over 5% by weight.
Kentucky
The Statute
Kentucky does not have a statute authorizing homebrewing of beer. Kentucky defaults to federal law, § 25.205 and § 25.206, allowing for homebrewing of beer for personal or family use for those over 21 years of age.
Summary
The Commonwealth of Kentucky defaults to federal law § 25.205 and § 25.206 on homebrewing. Homemade beer cannot be gifted or shared. Possession of homemade beer in a business not licensed to serve alcohol is illegal. Homemade beer can be brought into a business licensed to serve alcohol only for evaluation in a homebrew competition.
