Nope. I am going to wait until he tries the amber I have brewing right now to see if there is a similar reaction.

This time reverse it. Give him a commercial amber and tell him it's yours. Then give him yours and tell him it's the commercial one.

That's not reversing it. Actually reversing it would be even better:
Give him a commercial beer, and say it's yours, and then give him the same commercial beer and tell him it's the commercial one. This can help you figure out if he's more biased in the expectation that your beer sucks, or that the commercial stuff is better. |

Pretty sure its the bias that my beer sucks. He has said as much.

Sorry your brother is a jackass to you. If it were me, I'd consider just not giving him any more beer. |

Meh. He just recently turned 21 so I am trying to ween him off the piss water. We are actually pretty close and are just asses to each other. In a brotherly love fashion. I am pretty sure the Amber will actually change his mind  even if he doesn't end up openly admitting it.
I was expecting guffaws from my gaming group last night that I fed the stout too based on the bias against home brew but I actually had two guys call it the "best beer the have ever had".
