Wow! I didn't expect this type of reaction, but I'm really glad that you guys like it as much as me!

Whenever I recommend a beer, someone always *****es that "its not a real beer, I can see through it", or "This beer is like a meal"... Its always something, but I'm really really really glad that you guys are getting a kick out if it like I am.

I cleared out BevMo by my house and got 5 six packs... Im sure they have more so I'll keep my eyes peeled.

PS: Don't say I never gave anything to you!

You can order it online apparently, I think I'm going to do a bulk order like I do when I buy ammo so I'll have plenty to last me months.

Oh n0ez! Only 21 6 packs remaining!


Damn, it got a 94 point rating... I've never seen a beer get that good of a rating...

Ouch, just checked the shipping at its $10 for a 6pack!

It wouldn't be bad if you were charged $10 for like 8 6 packs, but thats for just one! F' that

Any other homebrewers out there? I have a poormans setup at home for brewing. One day I'll get a nice 3 level setup for doing 10 gallons at a time. Right now it's just 5 gallons. I've given up on bottling, it all goes straight to the keg now.
I'm hoping to get into this soon. I have a couple questions for you.
1. Do you grow your own hops? If so, where do you buy them.
2. If you buy the hops harvested, where from and what type?
3. How much was your kit, or did you just sort of make it yourself?
4. Have you found any good websites for info aside from the first few pages of results on Google?
5. How long does the whole brewing process usually take for you?


It's awesome to see some home brewers on here!

You know what would kick some MAJOR ***?

If we got 15 or so of us Kona Pipeline fans together and then added the following:

1. One of those kegs, and 15 German Steins to drink from (A Stein is a mug that has a lid that open and closes)
2. A place to chill, sit, and listen to music (like someones nice backyard)
3. A BBQ with some steaks/other meats, as well as sides
4. Several care free hours

How dope with that be? If we all pitched in like $20 we could totally do it...
