What can I say… this is my favorite beer that I have ever brewed… even people who don’t like beer tend to like this beer…

It has never won a medal… it probably never will. It always is a club favorite but still doesn’t win…

I could drink this beer forever and be happy…

I have many recipes for this brew but this is the one that started it all when I was still brewing in my kitchen…

I hope you love it as much as I do!
