OMG! I just had a taste of homebrew!
Home-made bitter chocolate oatmeal stout.

It was incredible!

My compliments to the brewmeister, who also happens to be a wicked good programmer.

1. Homebrew can be crap or it can be great.
Thankfully when its crap the brewers are usually too embarrassed to share with their friends. Unlike the big companies. :P

13. One of my son's friends is brewing mead
I'll have to try it, though it consider it a dessert rather than a drink.

16. A guy I used to work with made the BEST oatmeal stout!
He used to bring it to all of our work parties in a little keg...
