This last thing you said I can relate to, as well as the post above, I'm 21 and before maybe a year ago I was quite content drinking the lighter, blander, shittier beers and wouldn't know the difference. I had one friend who was always into good beer and most of us thought he was a bit weird, then I started listening and my interest in the process of beer making grew, I then went and tried some different beers and at that stage James squire was something I could consider a bit different believe it or not, I also got talking to a friends dad who brewed after I tasted his beer and asked who made it expecting a company name, it was his! He insisted I do a batch with him and I loved it, I then joined this forum and learned as much as I can, two months later and I have a full extract batch bottled and another in the fermenter, if it wasn't for the help of my mate or my other mates dad and you guys on the forum being so encouraging and welcoming I think I'd have thrown in the towel and kept drinking coronasmadpierre06 said:Asv long as we are not elitist or pretentious about what we do then we are more likely to attract those and less likely to antagonise those who may be the next addition to the ranks.
