My name is Brent and I have been brewing since 1996. Started in college for quantity and now I have evolved to quality. I enjoy playing with recipes and flavours not just copying what someone else has done.
Growing up in St Louis I was taught that Budweiser is the King of Beers, a d I now wonder but right he claims the throne? Not that Budweiser is a bad beer, it is just like every other commercial American beer though.
I TOTALLY do not get the "diet beer" movement going on in America right now. But I do like the growth in craft brewing that it is helping fuel.
I will try anything once, almost, Papazian's reference to Cock Ale in CJOH has me qualifying that statement nowadays. I have had some GREAT beers and always look forward to the next one.
My favorite beers:
Commercial
Guiness, Boddington's, Sam Adams (is that a craft brewery?), Budweiser (old habits die hard), Bass
Craft Brewers
Bell's Brewery - Hopslam, Oberon and Oktoberfest
Great Lakes - has yet to put out something I didn't like
Souther Tier - Pumking, inspired me
O'Fallon Brewing Co - by where I grew up
Schlafly Brewing - next to a friend, was fun to watch them grow
Mt Carmel Brewing - Nut Brown Ale
Fort Collins Brewing
Troegg's Brewing Co. - Troegginator
Hoppin' Frogs - Hoppin Berry Ale, Black and Tan
Fat Tire Amber
Dogfish Head IPA
Hope to get to know you real soon!
