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!
