I like the idea, but I think I'll just make a good stout and tell him that old kit wasn't worth a damn. He just wants good beer; he doesn't care where it comes from...

So, I'm visiting with my dad the other day...you know, talking about my my obsession...er...hobby and the milk stout I made for St Pat's. :mug: Anyway, he says, "you know I think I have something I'd like you to make me"...he disappears for 10 minutes and returns with a box. It's a Brewer's...

2 years? That's not so bad. My dad just gave me a kit the other day and asked me to brew it for him... I opened it to find this antique: Brewer's Best Irish Stout Kit I'm half-tempted to do it, too...
