Beer

I like beer, in fact I like good beer ! I like it so much I brew my own.

Along with my two best buddies we started brewing our own beer, just to try it out. At our surprise the first batch was pretty decent. Not excellent but a lot better then any beer you can buy in boxes of 24. So we decide to get more equipement, more bottles and to try brewing different types of beers. Over time, we optimized our process and made surprisingly good beers.

When ever I give one of "my beer" to someone for the first time, those three questions always come up : Did you really made it ? is it complicated to make ? Is it cheaper ? So yes, of course I really made it. No its not that complicated but you have to be really carefull when washing the equipment and it's quite time consuming. Cheaper, I don't really know, maybe in the long run, once you have spread the cost of the equipment and bottles overs ten or twenty batches of beers. I wouldn't really know, I'm the one keeping track of fermentation time and the type of beer we are brewing, not the one in charge of the finances !

But the real reasons why we are still doing it after several years. Is because it gives us the opportunity to spend time together. Three friends gathering on a Tuesday night or Saturday morning every once in a while to make beer and joke around... That's priceless. And also, when ever you give somebody a beer and he likes it, you get to brag about the fact that you made it :)
