If I may be so bold to ask... does it taste good? I know a neighbor of ours brews his own but he isn’t really picky about beer. I know that micro-breweries have become popular simply because the beer doesn’t taste commercial/anything you can buy at a local 7-11.
I don’t like the taste of beer, so I can’t offer an assessment of the taste. He just brewed his first batch, and he hasn’t said how it turned out yet. But he is determined to develop and perfect his technique so that he can proudly share his custom brew with friends and fellow beer snobs.
