So I brought homebrew to a family gathering for the first time today, my pumpkin porter. Feedback included:
1. As we went around saying what we were thankful for during grace, my nerdy college professor uncle said "Would it be appropriate to say I am thankful for Brandon's homebrew?"
2. After trying Sweetwater Brewing Company's Exodus Porter the same uncle said, "I think yours is better." W00t!!!
3. My cousin Ann Marie (who is a Southern Baptist preacher's wife) tried some of mine and said, "Oooh can I have one with dinner?"
4. My aunt, who doesnt drink beer, "Oooh now I could drink that!"
5. My cousin Joe, who has homebrewed for 20+ years, said "You did very well with this."
All in all, a very successful debut. Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow brewers.
