we are all part of a new wave of old ways. real men in today's world are outdated and out of style. they are not, however hard to find. just look for the guy in the hardware store that looks like he just walked into disneyland and can't decide weather to look for mickey mouse or goofy. go to your friend's house who always gives you fresh tomatoes and herbs from his garden and watch the joy in his eyes as he hands you a brown paper bag full of earth's bounty.
if you can't find either of these men, just think of the "men" (boys) who are hiding in the shadows of iraqi cities wearing full beards and burying their hearts in their ruck sacks doing the dirty work that is necessary to keep this country and its principles safe and intact.
if you still don't get it, go to the local homebrew hobby store and strike up a conversation with a regular guy who has shrugged off the lazy, store-bought, dependant way of life that has afflicted society in this country for far too long. you will find that in his humble hobby, he has revived a milleniums old tradition of men taking what they had and making the best of it. he realized that he didn't need wal-mart to provide for him. he is a man and he can provide and care for his wife and children. we brew beer the same way that james madison and thomas jefferson and the vikings and the indians and the chinese did. they did it because they wanted to and because they could. we do it because we have the same drive and spirit that these great men did. this is the human spirit at its best.
on this father's day, i am drinking to the founding fathers who propogated the principals of freedom which the entire world would stop and admire, and also cooked beer and mead and did it in the way that thier fathers before them did. to all of the homebrewers and professionals, cheers and long live beer and the real men of this earth who love thier families and love our human way of life.
