Actually, Washington County, just north of Baldwin had draft beer when Alabama was dry because of the large German settlement there. I suspect my gggrandfather was heading there when he settled in the Dothan area in mid-1800's. I can not substantiate it, but I think the settlement in Washing County goes back to the mid 1700's.
