I made beer for 15 years back when I started when I was 17 I taught six people to brew beer that started major breweries and made millions at it

all my beers were 12 to 15% alcohol because I simply took the ingredients and doubled them

my ex-wife made me quit about 2001 and the funny thing is I really only like IPAs now whereas back then I used to brew Stout porters and barley wines

The amazing thing is you’re allowed to own all of the beer bring equipment and bring your own beer at age 16 I found that out when I was at Berkeley and I was only 17

I was a pretty famous camper there at my co-op in Berkeley in the 1980s with my super Duper beers

there was really only Sierra Nevada’s back then

Anchor Steam predates Sierra Nevada by a HUGE number of years.

Your wife made you quit?!
What a shame.

What is a "Sierra Nevada"?

"all my beers were 12 to 15% alcohol because I simply took the ingredients and doubled them"

If you could remember how to do that, I wonder if a brewery could use that as a starting point for creating the currently commercially-popular flavored beers, rather than utilizing a shitty, plain malt base.
