Do you think 5 gal will serve 200? /s
These people (with help from media sycophants) are freaking liars.

In difficult times, the little people enjoy hearing about the activities of celebrities.
Probably. The law probably says that he would need to produce at least 50 gallons in a year to be eligible to be taxed... but I just don’t care about the details when I can get in a quick and silly jab at the Taxer-in-Chief. :) :)
That's been my general experience as well, but a buddy of mine had some home brew that beat Beck's for flavor.
He and I were together in Boy Sprouts (his dad was Scoutmaster) and he's always been a good cook.
Better than commercial beer CAN be done by guys with the touch and the taste.
Oh brother....
That is one of the greatest things I have ever seen. I hope it makes it in to Pookie’s toons, or maybe even the people’s cube!
I just heard about this. Billy beer 2011?
1 standard batch = 5 gallons = 50 ea 12oz bottles +/-. So for “200 guests”, each one gets a whopping 3 ounces from a standard batch. BFD. Time for a REAL homebrew summit.
My Holiday brew (3 lbs honey in a 5-gallon batch) starts at ~1.075 and finishes at 1.010, ABV ~ 7.5%). A single pound of honey in a 5-gallon batch (unless it’s a piss-weak recipe to start, and maybe not even then) won’t do diddly. All for show, but no real contribution.
Come to think of it, that product is a fitting reflection of its promoter...
That figures!
