It is interesting to no...Is that the local Bodega? <br />It is interesting to note the correlation between our present economical climate and the uprising of homebrewers. Homebrewing is at the root of beer history of course, but is now experiencing quite a renaissance. This is due to consumer frustration with conglomerate beer makers and the lack of distribution of finer micro brewers throughout the market. Do you think Homebrewing leads to the development of Anarchist societies?The Blog of MABhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09527110369931252783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353990454025361832.post-2743800445918585782010-12-13T07:03:00.904-08:002010-12-13T07:03:00.904-08:00I don't think I'd live through The Dangero...I don't think I'd live through The Dangerous Summer...R.

Hemingway spilled more whiskey and gin and vodka and wine and moonshine on his Stage 3a and Stage 4 writing implements than most humans can possibly drink in a lifetime.
