The pig's last snort

Post by Shrunken Reaper » Thu Feb 07, 2013 4:38 pm

I’m going to crack open the last bottle of Brew No. 1 (first brew EVER so has been in the bottle since July 2011...)

Answers on a postcard, will it be:

A – Completely undrinkable

B – Better than when it first came out, but still pretty bad

C – No different from the last time I tried this beer, ie weak, thin and generally cheap ‘homebrew flavour’

I might vote for B. Time can certainly soften off the edges of bad water, insufficient malt and general inattentivity. However, it may not have improved, if it was really awful!
