Stay Positive Wednesday: Homebrew

I write this post as I have wort boiling. I'm making an extra pale ale for the end of summer.

Homebrewing is something I've enjoyed for quite some time. A shout out to Aaron is necessary since he was the person who initially taught me the process and got me hooked.

The craft beer and microbrewery scene exploded in the 90s, but at one time homebrewing was one of the best ways to drink more full-bodied beers unless you lived in a large metro area. And it was cheaper. There's always that.

But one of the greatest aspects of homebrewing is pride. You made beer. Those of us tired of the insipid Duffs clogging up the marketplace reveled in heavier beers. And we still do.
