Wait, hold on
• What does beer have to do with IT?
• It's your job to sell me beer. Why are you telling me to do it myself?
Allow me to make some sweeping generalizations
about you.
You like to do things yourself
• See a problem, code a solution
• Create something from nothing
• Why pay someone else when you can do it?
You like to tinker
• Brewing is just compiling a recipe from the source ingredients
• Troubleshoot
• Tweak something, see what happens
Toys!
• You can make beer with a $95 starter kit and $40 for each additional batch
• OR: you can buy hundreds of dollars of equipment
• There is always something you can upgrade
• Toys are awesome
Why do you hate money?
Homebrewing is gazing into the abyss
• The more you know, the more you appreciate
• From Saranac mixed packs to Blue Monk
• Embeer Buffalo!
