Beer-making is not just for the big
guys--brewing at home is both a science and
a craft that is as easy as making soup.

Meet Bruce Stott, a master homebrewer who has
been brewing for over a decade. Find out why
Prohibition ended in the 1930s, but homebrewing
was illegal until the 1970s. Learn why beer prices
may be rising in Hope for hops, and what
other brewers are up when you check
out the links page. Figure out what they're
actually saying by perusing the jargon
page, and contribute your stories and
recipes on the blog.

Don't forget to have fun and have a homebrew!
