She Who Might Be Obeyed took me out for dinner last night to one of our two micro-breweries here in our town of 800. Had a couple tasty brews and some good food while playing in their trivia competition. Here are a couple of views from the upper patio looking towards the East. SWMBO and I were tied for the win but I know little about brewing beer so we lost the tie-breaker for a free six pack.

Water, malt, hops, yeast, sugar. Ferment @ 68 degrees for an ale. Bottle. Age. Refrigerate. Drink. Brewing your own beer is a great hobby. And it's a lot cheaper than buying retail.

It was a vague question:" Can you add hops at different times to beer when brewing?" I answered false because each style requires a certain period when things are added. Boo! And I really don't drink much if any nowadays.
I drank plenty when I was in the military. I bought a case (24 bottles) of hard cider over three months ago and still have 22 left.
