You should brew your own beerDan Conley, Community Beer Works

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!
