There was a time when small breweries dotted the land, making beers beloved by the communities they served. Thanks to Prohibition, changing consumer preference or just the difficulties of running a business profitably, many such beers have been lost to the history books.

But small breweries specialize in connecting with their communities. And they can source small-batch or historic ingredients. So, some of today’s small breweries have been reviving lost brands, bringing nostalgia to older drinkers and offering new flavors to younger ones.

We chat with two breweries - Yazoo and Upland - about how they are satisfying our thirst for nostalgia.
