Just had some Stone Imperial Russian Stout. You can't buy this beer unless you live in San Diego.
I'm not a big stout drinker but this is delicious.

^My borderline favorite beer
Tried the Duvel Rustica that has been in my fridge for weeks now the other day, and it was also quite good. Not as good as the original, but not far off.

I got some stuff on closeout last night at the grocery store. They have a pretty good craft beer section. I got a cheap quart, like a short fat almost growler looking bottle, of Corona for $0.80! I couldn't pass it up. Seriously 4 beers for less than a buck? Not bad. Also some oddball Dogfish bottle, and a 4 pack of Sixpoint cans.
Comparison:
We went out to dinner first. Had a SlyFox Weisse. It was fantastic! It's like a much much better blue moon.

I have a local company that's got some really good beer, my favorite is Third Stone Brown.
This shows the rest of their line up.

I don't know how many states they are selling it in but it's worth a try if you ever see it.

Revolution Anti-Hero IPA.
Apparently brewed here in Chicago, and just what I need after an almost twelve hour day.

Had this all at http://www.piesandpints.net/
Some of the best pizza I've ever had. That's including fine pizza from all over the east coast and Italy. That's saying something for a four location restaurant chain started in WV. The beer selection is very solid. About 15 different ones on draft and about 40 or so different ones bottled .

My buddy homebrews and creates some delicious brews. From what I saw and what he's told me, the initial setup is what costs the most... After that it's not bad.. I want to get into that once im settled in at the new house...His setup is somewhat simple too. Has a fridge for lager brewing too

I'd definitely like to get into one day. When I have my own home and am settled
How much equipment is need to start up?
I've had many of their beers. They're a pretty good, well distributed craft brewery. Had a Lake Erie Great Lakes Monster a couple weeks ago. Pretty tasty.

All I said was that I wanted to get set up at the new house properly before I spend money on brewing beer. Jeez, who would of thought priorities should come first...

Hahaha... you don't need much to brew depending on what you're making. Making sure everything is clean first is the trickiest. A really good thermometer is very very helpful as well to getting it to come out right. Especially for the yeast step. Not hot enough and it doesn't work good, too hot and you can kill it.
You basically need one big pot to boil the wort, then into a fermentation vessel, add yeast, wait, and then bottle it!
I did it once with a big lobster pot. It makes a frickin sticky mess though if you aren't careful.
Just boiled, added ingredients, transferred it into a glass carboy, added water until it was at the 5 gallon mark, wait till the temp drops, add yeast, put a "blow-off" tube on, wait a few days, cause it's gonna foam over a few times, clean it up like everyday, then once it settles add a water seal airlock and stick it in the closet to wait for your brew!
I ruined my carboy making wine though. It got some sort of residue stuck on the inside and I have not been able to get it off! I tried all sorts of cleaners, long wire brushes, these steel ball bearing "cleaning" beads that you roll around and they are supposed to wear stains off the inside. Nothin! Its like a pink paint stripe on the inside. I don't think it would affect anything but im not gonna take the risk of adding hot wort and reactivating some strange bacteria.
