Beer Hall Boycott Beer Hall Boycott The Beer Hall Boycott of South Africa was a women-led national campaign of boycotting municipal beerhalls. According to the Native Beer Act of 1908 it was illegal for women to brew traditional beer. Police raided homes and destroyed home brewed liquor so that men would use municipal beerhalls. In response, women attacked the beerhalls and destroyed equipment and buildings. Legislation restricted African natives from consuming European-produced alcohol. Educated African men were issued permits, which allowed them to consume European wine, spirits and malt beer. The average uneducated person would consume sorghum beer made by African women. South
