I recently got together with some friends of mine who you would call major beer snobs. As a hobby they all get together and brew their own beer. I was invited to hang out and par-ti-cipate.
We won’t get to enjoy it for another 2wks, but I know it’ll be worth the wait! My friend calls himself “The, beer connoisseur.” He had all the appropriate equipment to brew, which included; plastic siphon hose, 5 gallon glass carboy, crown bottle cap, blow-off tube, plastic bottle capper, cylinder airlock, 32 oz. funnel, musting cap, 1lb. corn sugar, transfer bucket, 1 case 12 oz. bottles, hydrometer and thermometer and his holy bible brew log with all the special tips, verses and instructions.
Its pretty easy to make a great tasting home brewed beer. I learned that I love the smell of hops! I wonder if it would make a good tea??? hmmm? Seriously, if you can boil water, you can brew your own beer. I was told, ”its all about timing.” You only let the brew boil for a little bit and not too hot or it will make the beer really bitter, yuck!
We all know what a bitter beer face looks like!
If you agree with me and think a home-brew party is a great idea, I also think it would be great to serve some of your home brew on your wedding day with your own labels! I’m sure everyone would love to try it out! 
I wanted to see if there were places around town that allowed you to use their kitchen/setup to make beer and I’ve picked through the blah to bring you the best venue, that will bring a smile to your face and keep beer in your glass. I discovered a place in Portland that you can brew your own beer!
They have custom built towers and drip trays out of Copper, Brass, and Stainless Steel. You can make up to 12 gallons of beer with fresh wort made from an all grain mash. From this mash you can make any type of beer you want by adding your own specialty grains and hops. They have a fermentation room and a bottling room when its time to bottle.
What a perfect bachelor party idea! Something different and refreshing. (If you’re a girl who likes beer you are a rare find and we think you should celebrate your love of beer while celebrating your upcoming wedding!)
