Think making beer at home is legal? Depends where your home is.
In 1978, US President Carter signed H.R. 1337, which, among other things, provided an exemption from excise taxes on up to 100 gallons of
homemade wine and beer annually. It was still up to the individual states to decide whether or not to allow their citizens to brew.
33 years later,
homebrewing is a very popular hobby, legal almost all states.
Except
Mississippi and
Alabama. [more inside]

Feeling like you need something to balance the scent of sandalwood and musk after reading this list of
famous man caves (including Jefferson's study, Douglass' office, Edison's library, and Roosevelt's trophy room)? If so, you may be interested in seeing the inner sanctums of some of history's most influential women. Check out Eleanor Roosevelt's living room (
