This is one of the best hobbies a person can have. When you've made a good beer, you have so many good memories created by sharing your work. The kids just love coming over for beer tastings. My son got me started about 2013, and I've been brewing ever since.
I'm competing in Canada now for 2-years, won some, lost some. LOL
Did win the "People's Choice Award in 2017 at the Beau's / MOB" home brew contest and got a coveted brew day at Beau's.
N. German AltBier, Hefeweizen, Belgian Dubbel, Farmhouse Saison, California Common, NEIPA's....etc., there all good, and exploring the world through beer making.
