It seemed so cool. And I liked drinking beer. I figured I could make award-winning brews in no time. Many years later, I have one bronze medal and one silver medal to show for it. Of course I've only entered 3 competitions so I think I'm doing ok.
My first beer was a Mr. Beer kit. I don't remember it but I also don't remember any of those batches being any good at all.
Several years later my first full size batch was a Brewers Best Alt. As I recall it wasn't bad at all. I remember sharing it with friends and they told me my brewing was sucking less and less.
