Bought & Brewed most of them all last 12 years or so...best of the lot so far...KBBA...Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale...a bit strong and a bit pricey...I have taken to using it as a mix together with SNPA...maybe a touch of Torpedo, but not much...IPA can be and mean anything one wants it to.....my own McG’s is fine for me...but I do use mostly store-bought!
Used to brew...just extract brewing...and...the Mr Beer...2gal containers are just right for experimenting...one I get a recipe down where I’m satisfied w/it...5 gal buckets are fine...

My grandfather on my dads side made his own wine. My mothers father made his own beer and cider (for which he was well known).
Unfortunately for me both of my grandfathers were dead before I could learn any of their secrets.
But I think it is in my blood and given the effort I can rekindle that art in my family.
