Court Holds Mild Beer Is Legal in Last Hoffmann Ruling
United States Judge Augustus N. Hand denied a government motion to dismiss the injunction suit by Jacob Hoffmann Brewing Company seeking to restrain federal officials from enforcing wartime prohibition. The case tests constitutionality and involves beer with up to 2.75 percent alcohol, with Hand ruling the suit targets the United States Attorney rather than the United States. The decision notes the acting Internal Revenue Collector acted beyond authority to define an intoxicant and to issue required stamps on fermented liquor.
