Malt liquor was created by Midwesterners in the late ’30s shortly after the Prohibition repeal that finally gave Americans access to a stronger brew for less money. Malt liquor jumped into the America’s consciousness in 70s thanks to Redd Foxx as pitchman and appearances in blaxploitation films. In the ’80s, Billy Dee Williams made the 40oz an icon. The 40 was the rapper beverage of choice in the early 90s. Present day, the malt liquor 40oz-er is mainstay for college students and young professionals.
