Michael related a tale of a home brew beer convention he attended somewehere ‘out west’ – possibly Las Vegas. At this convention home brewers had small barrels of their beer. Evenings were spent in the hotel hallways sampling various bizarre brews. One brew caught his tastebuds as something unusual, not quite an IPA.

He questioned the home brewer who explained “I HAD to brew something to bring, and had run out of hops. I checked the botanical books and used the nearest thing to hops that I could find – Marijuana. Seems to work pretty well though.”
