I went to college to be a teacher. I started brewing beer back then. After my wife and I were married and our our first child was born, I stopped and gave all my gear to my brother who used it for making wine. 18 years later... I went on a trip to Germany with my oldest child during the Starkbierfest. <br />
I forgot how much I loved beer. (unbelievable I know) I really fell in love with doppelbock.<br />
<br />
Mass produced American beers don't thrill me at all. The craft alternatives here are Weis beers, Belgian clones and over hopped IPAs. All of which I am not a huge fan. I like some hoppy beers but there seems to be a game of "mines hoppier than yours" going on in the US. Often hops are used to hide poor malting. I like the whole beer. Not just the bitterness.<br />
<br />
I'm involved in youth scouting. I hunt deer, partridge, grouse. I like taking canoe trips with my kids. I like snowmobiling. I own an old Polaris that I have made many updates on. We built a house on my in-law's farm. I built myself a big shed that hold my workshop and toys. It has a loft. Billiards room? Pub?<br />
