Most slugs prefer micro breweries and, like civilized

good. Be sure to put it by your front gate or on your porch

way to your trap.
Charlie! Don't crowd me.
Billy, do you brew?
we made an exceptional batch of Scarborough Faire a few weeks
ago.... too bad you're on the wrong coast 
we currently have Maple Ale (seasonal, made with sap not
syrup), Scarborough Faire (unhopped, preserved with herbs) &
two pale ales. there's two batches of some kind fermenting in
the dining room, but i wasn't here when T brewed them. i think
one is a Barley Wine though.
it's about time to brew up the Spruce beers as well...

No. Made some mead once but I don't brew. I may have to rethink that.
Brewing is far more complicated than winemaking. Grapes have acidity to
fight back the micro-critter beer doesn't and caution to the point of
neurosis is beneficial for a brewer. Then there is the malting and the
roasting. I've never felt comfortable not being in charge of all the
parameters of a project. Lastly, to control the dextrins, the mouth
feel, multiple temps for varying times are needed and from this I know
from nothing. One bit of information I did picked up along the way, if
you are just interested in the liberating effects of ethanol, is that
nothing ferments faster than pineapple juice;-)
