Family Funtime Lager (#217) 8lbs: I bragged and bragged to my family about how good my beers are and how easy they are to brew. Never having brewed themselves, they were a bit skeptical.

Here is the beer that tempted the taste buds of my longtime Old Milwaukee drinking family members. Now you can share it with your family.

Practically Illegal Pale Ale (#218) 10lbs: We walk a fine line with this beer. Due to the graphic use of hops we were very close to needing a warning label from the surgeon general.

Paranoid Wheat Beer (#221) 10lbs: There are certain things about this beer that would lead you to believe it is a wheat beer. And then there are other elements that make you scratch your head and come to the conclusion that this beer is the result of somebody cleaning out their refrigerator and lucking out with a surprisingly delicious brew. Wheat malt, rye malt, lager yeast and brown sugar may not sound like any "style" of beer you ever heard of but I can assure you it is one that I had a hard time keeping in the refrigerator for any length of time. Cost: $29.00

Pine Lake Porter: (#222) 15lbs: I like to fish and I like to brew beer. If I had my way, I guess I would open up a small brewpub at one of my favorite fishing spots.
