I've been brewing for the past two years (all-grain for about the last 1.5) and have learned much about the brewing process and what goes into making a great beer. To be able to see, smell, and taste each ingredient before sampling the final product has functioned to deepen my knowledge and appreciation for craft beer.
The reasons I started homebrewing are many--I myself am not even sure of all the exact reasons. The one that played most prominently though, was probably the inability to attain craft offerings under an age that these great States deem necessary to responsibly enjoy such a beverage. So here's a long overdue "thank you," to Uncle Sam, for inspiring me to brew.
My brewing history reads a little something like this:
English Brown Ale (Extract)
Cherry Witbier (Extract)
India Pale Ale (All-Grain)
Honey-Weizen (Extract)
Russian Imperial Stout (All-Grain/Extract)
Belgian Witbier (Extract)
