I personally think more people should take up home brewing so that they'd understand more about beer, enjoy the fruits of their labors, develop a more discerning palate, and save some money. Try Amarillo or Columbus hops. It's pretty easy to brew beer better than the big breweries who use adjuncts like rice in their beer and dumb down the hops to a nearly nonexistent flavor.
OK, sorry, but somebody had to say it.
A home-brew ping.
