A Stronghold or Necessity

Before I start, I just want to make it clear that I feel I am a purest when it comes to the meaning of home and microbreweries. I love the idea of hundreds of small local and neighborhood breweries all sharing the creations with the passer by. The idea that someone can create a small business right in their own backyard is what this country is all about. The freedom to brew beer and sell it to anyone is, in my opinion, the purest form of beer and brewing.

In The Beginning

It all started about 3 years ago. I didn't drink much beer to tell you the truth. If I drank a beer, it was Budweiser, Bud Light, Coors, or Coors Light. I know, what it the hell was I thinking..

In The Beginning

It all started about 3 years ago.

I didn't drink much beer to tell you the truth.  If I drank a beer, it was Budweiser, Bud Light, Coors, or Coors Light.  I know, what it the hell was I thinking. 

I had a friend of mine, Josh.  He had mentioned that he and his dad brewed beer.  I didn't think much of it.  One day, I was over at his house, he let me try one.  It was better than I had expected it to be, but not something I would have bought.  We talked about it and later I thought I would give it a try.  I got a website from him and purchased everything I would need from Williams Brewing.  I was surprised to find out that most of the stuff was cheaper than I thought and I had everything in just a few days.

He came over to my house and we went through everything I purchased.  I was exited to get started.  He went through the process and we started brewing the beer.  Along the way he explained the basic stuff and told me that the kit I had was a basic one and that the real fun came as I advanced into more complex grain bills.

Once I had finished fermentation, and the carbonation was complete after the beer was bottled, I took my first drink of my first ever brew.  I thought it came out good.  Everyone that tried that beer said it tasted good.  Needless to say, I was hooked.  From that point on, I have been a home brewer.
I will continue to catch up with where I am today in the next few posts.  I want to use this small blog as a place I can post anything you might find interesting about beer, brewing, beer news, and so on.  I am also a contributor to a great online community at RealBeerActivist.com.  Check back soon for more as I attempt to build the site.
