Any home brewers at DCC?

I would imagine with the recent craft beer boom it's probably tough to get your hands on some hops, but I'd like to give it a go.

I've never done it, but always wanted to try my hand at it.

I prefer lagers and crafts, but I have to admit if I just want a smooth, easy light beer, Bud Light Lime is great.

Thanks for your input.

I'll mark you as a "no, but interested".

Coffee flavored beer? That has to be more bitter than an eagles fan looking at their trophy case.

I've had a few coffee'd stouts that are pretty bitter, this was really smooth. Founders nailed this one

Founders might be the most consistently excellent brewery I know of from style to style. Never had a bad beer from them and most are very good. Their stouts are particularly impressive. Haven't had this one yet. Will buy it if I see it.

And coffee stouts are great beers if done right, Geng. Might not sound great on the surface but I have had many and there are some great ones. This one appears to be a brown ale rather than a stout but whatever. Founders can pretty much do no wrong in my book.

Yea I misspoke when I called it a stout but to my tastes it was closer to a stout than brown ale. Compared to the brown ales I've had at least.

Whatever it was it was excellent.

I have been drinking a lot of local/regional beers this summer. Had some Lone Pint Yellow Rose recently, Live Oak Hefeweizen, different Jester King wild/sour ales. I was in Chicago for 10 days in late July and had a bunch of great Midwestern beer that I can't get in Austin. I had several different Three Floyds beers, a couple from Revolution (went to that brewery while I was in town because I spent some time in that neighborhood), Half Acre, Solemn Oath, Pipeworks, etc. Also had a couple of Allagash White, which is not a Midwestern beer but they distribute there and not here. Oh and a really outstanding Belgian beer called Tripel Karmeliet from Brouwerij Bosteels.
