Billy Beer is a brand of beer first made in the United States in July 1977, by the Falls City Brewing Company.[1] It was promoted by Billy Carter, whose older brother Jimmy was then the president of the United States.[2] In October 1978, Falls City announced that it was closing after less than a year of Carter's promotion. The beer was produced by Cold Spring Brewing, West End Brewing, and Pearl Brewing Company. In 2018, Uptown Brewing Company and Billy Beer, Inc. entered into a partnership with Greene County, North Carolina to build a 10,000-square-foot (930 m2) production facility at the North West Greene Industrial Park.[3]
