Home brewing had (has) its followers back in the 70's and 80's for sure
There used to be a cracking Homebrew Supplies shop on Cross Street just round the corner from the Warners. I never really got used to the smell but as most people know you could tweak the strengths and that was the attraction for sure. The current Mrs P was never happy with the big fermenting jars under the stairs or me taking over the kitchen when bottling.
Truth be told now though there is such a range of good bottled beers on offer everywhere as Mr J says, it's not worth the faff these days.
And if you are a people person (like me
**)it's much more convivial propping up a bar engaging in intelligent conversations
("some not so intelligent if last night in the Forts was anything to go by" shouts Mrs P)
Well I blame the 5 pints of Kelham Island Tin Can
. Good job they didn't have Thornbridges Jaipur on !!
