Billy Beer is a brand of beer first made in the United States in July 1977, by the Falls City Brewing Company. It was promoted by Billy Carter, whose older brother Jimmy was then the president of the United States. 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 sq. foot production facility at the North West Greene Industrial Park.
