I started with AG maybe a year ago, And I'd say a D when it comes to turning out beers. A D because they are "ok", they are fully on par with or better other local microbreweries' "standard ales", like Pale Ales and IPA's and such.
But still a whole lot of styles to learn from, I don't like to brew "to style", since I can do whatever I want, and theres still som unexplored fields for me, where I lack the skills about for instance water chemistry, which would totally park my bohemian pilsener comparing to the real deal.
I experiment a lot, I don't only brew because I'm trying to make a great beer. It's fun, even if the outcome is sub-par. Since I'm only one year in (and some months) I want to learn as much as possible, and "after" that I guess I'll put that knownledge into making some really good beers. You can't learn it all, if you think that you've lost. But after about a year more of experimenting and an occasional not-experimental beer, I guess I'd be able to turn out good beers.
I'd give myself a B, or close to an A when it comes to sharing stuff, giving away stuff I don't need, or just helping people out if they need something done, like taking some holes in a kettle or such.
