So, I am quite the nerd, and one of the things I nerd about is the law in general, and in particular the legal standing of specific things around the world, such as photography, copyright and homebrewing.

The question is pretty clear, but I would love some historical background, too, if you have it.

I don't think any answers to this will be useful outside of particular places at a particular time. There are better forums for gathering this sort of information, and one of the answers below addresses that. – baka Mar 7 '12 at 0:45

This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, see the FAQ.

Here in NJ, we needed a $20/year permit to homebrew. Just this year, the governor signed a law removing that permit, so we can brew up to the federal limit (100 gals/year for an individual, 200/year for a household) legally without any permits.
