Just like when the cig tax was raised.

It does if you're good at it....check the ratebeer homebrew forum. Some amazing stuff comes out of there. Duck Rabbit's baltic porter, slightly out of the top 50 beers in the world on RB, was a recipe someone on the forums came up with that was put into production by the brewery after the head brewer tried it.

Yes, but I think you are missing my point. There is an *expectation* that newcomers to the hobby will be drinking beer that tastes as good or better than what they buy off the shelf. This is not the case, and people get turned off of the hobby because of it.

And yes, I know a number of the guys on that forum. Trust me, there are other forums with a *lot* of talented members.

So you go through all the labor to create something that tastes worse than what you could have just bought at the convenience store? What's the incentive for the hobby then? Or are you saying it took you a number of years to realize this and drop the hobby? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Man, you sure know how to cut through things don't you?

Believe me, I made shit that even I couldn't drink. And that's saying a *lot*.

Just like any other hobby tho, met some nice folks, learned a fair bit, had fun and, well, got drunk often. I even had a few proud moments too when presenting samples to friends who seemed to like it.

I've learned that if you brew it strong enough, no matter what the first bottle tastes like the second one usually tastes great //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Nothing like a friend that will lie to your face for your own good, huh? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

QFT.

As far as raising the price, folks will still buy it just like cigs. A couple dollars more for beer will not stop a determined drunk/alcoholic.
