I am an fan of beer. More specifically, I am a fan of hand crafted beer that is designed by a brewer who doesn't care if it is loved by the masses, as long as he loves it. Needless to say my appreciation for micro craft brew has actually increased since I started brewing. I didn't get into brewing because I thought I could do better than the local micro brewers, I got into brewing because of the idea of making something I love. And just like every other brewer, if I don't love it, I have total control in changing it until I do love it. When you designed it, brewed it, changed it, brewed it again, and bottled it. Then you open the bottle, take a long sniff, and gently pour it into the glass. You hold it up to the light and watch the bubbles release towards the surface. It's alive. Finally, you take a nice long pull and everything that has led up to this moment seems worth it. You can't buy that satisfaction with any amount of money. That's why I home brew. .
