Hell no. As long as you still like beer. I just lost my taste for rice water. Drinking Sludgewiser is like having sex in a canoe. Fu(king close to water.
I prefer barley, water and hops. Liquid bread.
Here is a neat story of beer.

I am therefore I brew.

A beer store near my job has a whole case of ‘hoppy’ beer. To me, it is nirvana.

LOL, I don’t think my boss would appreciate me drinking at work! Actually I did like your original pun.

Gee, thanks.

Now I really have to pee.

My boss made me feel left out if I didn’t drink at work. Mostly on Thursday and or Friday after 3pm...ok 2 pm...well sometimes 12 pm. We do not work with power tools or machinery if that makes a difference.

Yark! We’re Doomed!

Thats what I need, another hobby; Hop Grower.

It is really easy, the damn things just keep coming back year after year stronger and stronger.

Glad someone picked up the slack. Bud’s stockholders were in shock there for a while.

If I could just decide what to grow.

Cascades, I think, that way I have Stouts and IPAs covered, but I am unsure what else.

I tend to brew a lot of Pils, Lagers and Mexican, so Saaz perhaps?

And if I grow two, well three is just as easy.

And so it begins...

Unless you have a large space, they all grow together in a tangled mass anyways.

[knews_hound]

I was thinking more like this.

Ha ha, somewhere over the rainbow....

I’d call that a larger space. If you can plant the rhizomes 18-24 inches apart you’d be OK with different varieties.
