The only beer I like is German beer in German pubs.

The only beer worth drinking nowadays is the beer _I_ make!

Seriously, once I started making my own brew about 11 years ago, that was
the
only way to fly. There are 2 or 3 microbrews that come close, but not
close
enough.

I had a good friend who made an annual batch of the most awesome beer.
Unfortunately he passed away before he could pass on the recipe. We still
have an annual beer party in his honor but I've never had a beer that good
since.

I am very impressed.

I've been thinking of making my own beer, but I don't think I could
control myself. One the reasons I got big was due to beer (generally
purchased after a meal of pasta/rice would cause my blood sugar to explode
then crash, leaving me depressed; but that's a different story). I don't
think I could have a bunch of bottles of beer lying around.

It, most certainly, requires lots of will power. I know I fell in to
that
trap when I started out and it was a major contributor to my getting
fat. But
now that I've gotten things under control and found my happy weight, a
little
treat now and then is most welcome!

Many home brewers fall in to this trap just because they aren't thinking
about
it. But if you go in to it knowing that you need to be careful - you
should
be fine.

Beer is food.

I certainly have better control now, on low carb, than I did when I as on
low fat. And I still do drink beer every once in a while. It's just that
it is food (as you aptly point out) and typically has quite a few
calories, and I can easily drink two if not more beers. So, I'll probably
wait until I get to my goal weight before I try beer brewing, and then
I'll see if I can brew into bottles (no kegs for me!). That way, I can
keep some in the cellar and only put the ones I want in the fridge. Lucky
for me, I don't like warm beer.

Moderation my friend. Moderation. That's the whole key to this group anyway,
isn't it?

That all depends on who you talk to -- I agree with you, but for
some people, it's all or nothing so they choose nothing...

Nah, good American microbrews are better than German beer.


I never tried them...

then how do you know you don't like them?
