Brewing sounds like such a cool job. Making beer, sampling, testing hops... but in reality I would imagine its 99% lugging grain sacks, cleaning sticky fermenters by hand, driving forklifts, hot, humid, loud, outright hard work. I would imagine this comes with a typical blue collar salary but...

Does anybody out there have a pet pig or know somebody with a pet pig? My wife wants one of those mini pigs that only get to 40ish pounds. They are super intelligent and can be house trained. They are legal to have where I live so no worries about that.
