You keep smoking and drinking the same thing? LOL

Nice pic but would love to see some smoke and ashes on that great cigar.

Sorry...got interrupted and cut my reply short. Although, I guess there isn't much else to say. It's good, if you like a strong beer, but it's too expensive to drink on a regular basis. I'm surprised I found any cuz it sells out quick around here...must be the economy.

See Dave,

THIS is the reason why I got into brewing!

The cost savings are just crazy!

For what you'd spend for 2-1/2 cases of say a premium of Belgian ale versus what I can make it for???? The most expensive ale I've made didn't even clear the 80.00 line.

The 4 packs are available almost year round at Total Beer and Wine.

There are a group of guys/friends currently organizing a brew club in my neighborhood. One of the guys has a basement (aka "the cave") in his detached garage where the brewing will take place. It's actually pretty organized (like a company) with brewing teams of two who will rotate through every weekend. With the number of guys involved it means showing up once every 2-3 months (or more if desired) to brew another batch. Each brewer will get about 4 cases of beer...4 cases of beer at my house would last an entire summer or longer (if I didn't share it). A few of the guys have been homebrewing for years, but they still want/need a Brew Meister. Each person is chipping in $135-$200 for the startup costs...with 25 brewers that should generate up to ~$5000 for tooling-up and brewing the first 100 cases of beer. As fun as it sounds, I'm still undecided, but giving it serious thought.

Hoyo, everything you said makes sense. If you're already into homebrewing and know what you're doing than doing it alone may be the better option. But if you're like me, and know pretty much nothing about it, getting into a group with other experienced homebrewers would be fun. Those that are more experienced would pair up with the less experienced (ideally), but I suppose anyone can help as needed. In the end it's all about getting together and having fun...sort of like cigars. The guys who put the club guidelines together seemed to know what they were doing in regards to people signing up for various duties, brew schedules, brewing a bad batch, etc. I pretty much gave the extreme cliff notes version of it. The documents are actually pretty entertaining to read even if they are supposed to be serious bizniz. 🍺
