Who Drinks your Homebrew ?

Post by Ricklust »

Who drinks most of their Homebrew ?
I see there’s a lotta beer being brewed on the "How much did you Brew in 2021"
I’d say I drink about 50% and friends drink the other half of my brew.
I was just curious about who’s consuming all the Suds :fillup

I'm in that same 50/50 boat. I take some to work, share with friends, fill growlers, etc.

I used to be about 50% when I was bottling and still working and made a lot of different styles and put together mixer 6ers for guys at work. Now retired and keg, I am probably closer to 75% that I drink. BUT when my 4 wheeling neighbors all stop in at my basement lounge, can go though a lot of beer on tap in a hurry. A lot of us out here in the country and yes New York but farm country, have our own little mini bars in our garages, basements or barns and will stop at one or others.

95% I drink. My yearly gallon total has slowed waaaaay down, barely have time to stop for a brew. I need to go back to work, drank lots more then.

When I was brewing regularly somewhere around 50% went to other people.
At work there were a number of people that looked forward to trying my new brews knowing they would like some and not others.
At home, it was fun to take an American Rye to a family event and see everyone drink it rather than any commercial beer. Like 3 and more beers.

Mostly me. Before the collapse of western civilization, we had people at the house a few times a year. They enjoyed my beer on those occasions.

I can burn anywhere from 600 (on any easy rest day) to 2000 calories a day doing my things.

So I can drink lots of low ABV homebrew as a calorie supplement :)

But I share with anyone who stops by if they would like some.

Probably 50/50 before the world fell apart.
More like 70/30 this summer.
