I got into brewing... For The Beer.
It took many years of being led towards wheat beers and other light fare, and when I finally asked to just try and find something I actually liked from the row of taps at the local brewery (MBC), I found IPA and was addicted immediately. MBC being a very 'All About The Beer' place, I quickly made friends of everyone there, and learned home brewing from the 30 barrel Century-backwards, towards home brewing. It still took about 15 years to decide I would brew my own.
I have made hundreds of gallons of wine from late teens into the early twenties, as I had access to all manner of free fruit. I was actually scared into NOT brewing, because I was told that holding exact temps was going to be so hard....by the guy who I bought carboys, bags and yeast from, a LHBS.
A few years ago I was given a DME mini-kit that was absolutely horrible-metallic liquid. But during that time, I developed a hops addiction, and out of natural self-reliance, am putting together a full blown, single tier, 3 keggle, all stainless rig, with gearmotor driven mill and kegging system/kegerator.
It could be said it was because of the brewery, but it really seems to be 'All About The Beer.'
