Jack Daniels has been making whiskey since the 1860s. Anheuser- Busch introduced Budweiser in 1876. Pabst won a blue ribbon for its beer at the 1893 world’s fair. Coors first opened a Colorado brewery in 1873.

All thrive to this day.

How did these, and other venerable American alcohol makers, survive prohibition, which lasted from 1920 to 1933?
