I've been brewing for about three years. I've always enjoyed drinking beer, and my brother bought me an all-grain one-gallon brewing kit as a gift years ago (Warrior Double IPA, I believe). Not my favorite style, so it sat for a while. I occasionally hang out with my neighbors, and three years ago I stopped in for dinner and he handed me a hefeweizen and said "here, I made this." It was quite good, so I was surprised. If he could do it, anybody can. So I tried the old kit, with five year old dry yeast and all, and it turned out pretty good. I've experimented with a few things, but have moved to a five-gallon kettle setup, all-grain, milling my own, BIAB, lots of that. I've learned a lot. As a woodworker, I ended up building a bar. It was always a dream to build a bar in my own home to serve my own beer, so I did that.
Anyway, someday I'd like to open a brewery. Around here, there are more than a few breweries, and all do very well. It's odd, because few if any have any standout beers. I would describe most of them as remarkably average, maybe less than that. but it doesn't matter because people like to support local businesses. So that's the plan. I have the capital, just not the guts to take the plunge. Yet, anyway. Someday I will.
