I've had homemade beer a couple times :bad

you've made it or just had someone elses?

a guy at work makes it and he says it takes awhile to perfect. He told me he has a book of recipes he likes to try that supposedly has reverse engineered commercial brews.

It was someone else's, I don't have the attention span or the patience to brew it myself...maybe it was just the person's, I would imagine if he's done it a bit it may have a better result. Just my first couple experiences with kind of steered me away from it. If you try it, let me know if it's good or not and I'll give it another shot.

Also, a friend of mine who lives in California reviews beers on his website. If you want anything from the bay area, he's always looking to do exchanges. I'll be getting some Russian River soon.

I subscribe to this magazine. It mixes humor, hot chicks, and up to date information on beers new and old.

Anybody ever tried upstream brewery?

I live about 8 blocks north of the downtown location. The Grand Cru that they just released is excellent.

I've been meaning to check it out, but either keep forgetting about it or don't have the time...Might have to swing over there before beertopia

As far as eateries in Omaha go, this place has got to have the best beer selection in town. The food is excellent too. Try the cone fries.

and if I'm feeling cheap

Miller Lite

unfortunately that's been me for the past few months. With football season brings drinking more beer...and with this economy I've decided to save and drink Miller Light. Can't beat a 6 pack of 16oz for $5.80! And I think it tastes better than Bud Light.

I also have to give props to Sam Adams for branching out and making new beers. Since their "respect your brew" campaign even Budweiser has decided to branch out with their American Ale (which isn't terrible actually)

I am a big fan of all of smaller or seasonal brews from Sam Adams. The Cream Stout and Cherry Wheat come to mind as especially good.

My crutch is Killian's...I drink it like water. Every winter though, I'm a sucker for Sam Adams Winter Lager...money in the bank, or belly so to say.

I tried the Cherry Wheat once and I just about hurled all over the place.
