Dont worry bout it. I figured you refered to extract brews, and I concur that you can do very interesting stuff with that... and nothing sexier than a fine woman in Dickie's shirt with a shovel full or grist. We should do a BarTowel calendar...gordmit wrote:"And the worst of my homebrew can kick the ass of any beer you can find at minimum price.

Humble appologies Ian. I understand that real home brewers can and do produce outstanding product. My "homebrew" referenced the generic beer made from malt extracts at U-Brew shops. Even that can be decent, I've had them brew custom-modified batches to boost the hop content. Yet on a cost/convenience/taste ratio I still find that the "homebrew" I'm referring to is a bit below the value of Upper Canada lager. I wish that I had the time, patience and skill to brew my own real beer, and I am very respectful of the men and women, well...men mostly...who dedicate themselves to the pursuit...ALL HAIL ST. GAMBRINUS!
Anyways, good suggestions up top, but I still think that due to the sheer size of some american "micros" like SN, they can get far better value beers out there.
I also dont mind the Labatt 50 on tap when I am confronted to a poor tap list.
Cheers.
