It's a fact that some are sensitive and will be stumbled by any sort of alcohol consumption (either their own interpretations or because of their own previous dealings with it). But it's obviously not a sin to drink alcohol; only drunkenness is recorded as a sin in the bible. Only problem is there's a stigma, and has been for a long time, with alcohol.
You can't help how people feel towards a subject. You can only really help who you tell about it. For example let's say you were doing car racing on the weekends. Some may feel your not showing respect for your life for doing something that is dangerous in which you could be killed. Is it wrong? No. Is it your moral obligation to tell others? No. Could some be stumbled by it? Yes.
The bible does say that we are to stumble no one for we could be found blood guilty. If you were getting drunk that's completely wrong and a true cause for stumbling. But drinking in moderation isn't a real cause. It's an excuse for others to complain. Everyone is accountable to God for their own actions, not what others "make" them do.
I don't see how it's a bad thing not to tell people that you brew and enjoy beer. Your not lying to them, you don't need to tell them everything about your life. Your not killing people in your spare time. But if you feel guilty for brewing and drinking beer and can't get over it then stop.
