I love beer. My favorite beers are all from my time in Australia. American beer has nothing on the grandeur I sipped there. Crown Lager and Victoria Bitters are just fantastic.
While I'll eventually get into beer brewing, I started making wine back in May. I bottled my first batch of dry red concord (Discordia Red) a week before Gen Con and took a handful of bottles with me to share. While it won't be completely mature until November, I still enjoyed it. The first taste kind of kicks you in the mouth but that quickly goes away. As it matures, it should mellow and become a lot more smooth.
I'm currently got 5 gallons of Apfelwein in the primary fermenter. I cannot wait to drink that stuff!
