Nobody would want to be that. Noooooooobody!

I've moved up from quarter! Thanks for the props!

Can too! I just chose not to.

Is not! It's more like the fact that NS 7.x still includes the whole suite as a bundled package, while the Mozilloids have decided to separate the browser and the mail/news client into separate things. So I'm still all old-school and Netscape-y and s*it.

Won't do what?

*squeal* Thanks!

They are?

Only an inch? And which women in particular did you have in mind? The ones mentioned in that Dogs Die In Hot Cars song that sounds uncannily like XTC?

Oh, yeah, that brewpub owner. Also out there making friends and sharing the love on a certain well-known web-based beer forum. It's amazing. Almost reminds me of what it was like about five years ago in these parts... almost.

Nah.

Just be aware that there are a lot of FA's over there just looking to make life miserable for newbies. ;-)

John- No offense intended, but you're the one looking like an idiot here. Don has already established enough cred here (and for various of us here, in person through his and our beer travels) to last a few lifetimes. You come off as, at best, naiive and thin-skinned.

As for your original query, what you seem to want to do is be a brewer at a brewpub. Starting/running a brewpub is at least 75% managing a restaurant. The beer is just another feature. if I were you, I'd think about getting some real experience with brewing (maybe some Siebel courses, maybe as an assistant brewer at a brewpub or small brewery) before seriously considering devoting you life to the business. After all, any nebbish with a wooden spoon can come up with a homebrew recipe. It takes a bit more than that to run a successful business.

_Designing Great Beers_, Ray Daniels. but that's assuming the OP has the process or brewing (from grain) down solid. I assume not, so John Palmer's online thingy would be a better starting piont.
