Thankfully, I don't have to worry about making home brews for a while yet; my uncle works at the Moosehead Breweries.
I can go in and visit him anytime I want (when I'm in the area), and he'll take me around to meet the guys. They're a pretty good group, most of them have family members that are in the forces as well, so they always treat another CF member like long lost family. We usually end up in the Alpine room, to enjoy a few, fresh off the line.
