Home Brewed- Intro


So I’m sure we’ve all been there before. You know the moment you’re having a drink and realize this taste like shit. Yes ladies and gentlemen I am referring to the oldest beverage alcohol, the prize of the victorious and the prescription for whatever “ale’s” you. For centuries these tonics have serviced the world and it’s one of the few things many of us share a common interest in. You can be urban, “subourbon”, or rural we all enjoy a drink now and again some more than others right Justice Kavanaugh… I like beer too. Oh man I’m probably gonna catch hell for that joke but I just couldn't resist, I’ll admit I’m notoriously bad for catching low hanging fruit that for some may be considered a bit time sensitive. Back to my point though, one day I’m drinking and think to myself this taste like ass why don’t they make it you know not taste like shit? Why don't they make good beer? This eventually led me down a rabbit whole of thoughts till I somehow convinced myself getting involved in the alcohol industry was the best idea ever. I mean I always enjoyed drinking alcohol and always wanted to run my own business; F.Y.I. my only line of reasoning was alcohol will never go out of style, “Honestly  how hard could it be.” famous words of every idiot who thinks themselves a savant, but you know everyone who ever accomplished anything was pretty stupid for believing in themselves so why not give it a go. So now I’ve decided to embark on a foolish journey of crafting my own alcohol based beverages, and I figured why not let my ego takeover because obviously people give a shit what I’m doing in my free time so why not write a blog/ Journal so that people can keep up with me. In all seriousness though this will probably be one of the greatest experiences of my life I’m looking forward to learning the craft and maybe even helping others learn; and if learning how to craft your own brew isn't something you're interested in you can always just stick around to laugh at this inevitable shit show that will be my life now.

Bee’s knees

Ok so I recently have come to realize how sad my situation is. I have more alcohol in my fridge then food. Now I'm not a big drinker. Except for social events I hardly ever drink at home. Sure I'll have a single beer every now and again or a glass of liquor, but those are once in a month type things. So in a way it makes sense I have more beer, but still I can't help but feel like maybe it should raise concerns. The one good thing about this blog and my dream of crafting my own brew is at least now I can always excuse the amount of alcohol I have as a necessity. Back on the crafting front I've come to realize why more companies don't go with mead. As luck would have it honey is kind of a main ingredient in mead and looking at recent honey prices I could hear my wallet cry in terror. Honey prices are insane so I'm gonna have to find a way to remedy this situation and keep cost down if I'm ever going to start a business. I considered starting a honey farm sinc...

Alcoholics Anonymous ( Guinness- extra stout)

Seeing as to how my last review was me at my worst I figured it would be good to see me at my best and most biased. So this time I'm going with arguably the bar for what a good beer should be. This time I'm actually really looking forward to having a swig. " down the hatch" Yeah that's just good beer. Smooth and little bit of tang too it. Something I don't usually like in beers but here it just works. Honestly you couldn't pay me enough to talk badly about this brew. The bottle alone is incredible the slightest of curves and amazing black and gold contrast. The harp that pays homage to the will of the Irish, a rich history for centuries old brew. Even out of the bottle thanks to the nitrogen it has an amazing look in a pint. A dark brew with a white foam crown. Truly royalty among beers. I know it sounds like I'm kissing ass here, and that's only because I am it's too be expected though when this brew is #2 for my favorite brews ever.   Ok ne...

Tequila-Tequila

Recently I've been curious to know what makes tequila different from other liquors. So I finally came across a video that explains just that. Turns out, that agave I've seen on bottles is not some exotic magical plant it's actually pretty common place at any grocery store, heck I've even seen full plants in some backyards. Kinda ruined the mysterious outlook I used to have of tequila. It's honestly kind of amazing seeing how cultures drinks of choice are heavily influenced by what they have available in their environment. It's nice to know no matter what people will find something to make alcohol out of some might call that " a cry for help".....they'd probably be right. Anyways back to the topic at hand agave are like a smoother cactus with less spikes and needles. Interesting enough they don't actually use the the leaf like stems of the plant instead they use the the main body of the plant cutting off all the stems. Definitely not what I exp...
