At our office christmas party, the husband of one of my managers was giving
out bottles of home brewed beer.  He had several varieties, I went home
with a bottle of the stout.

Fast forward to mid-february, when I found the forgotten bottle in my
refrigerator.  I had been instructed not to drink it out of the bottle, but
to pour it into a glass for best result, and I complied. This was a VERY
good stout.  Maybe not quite a Guinness, but certainly as good or better
than a bottled Watney's Stingo.  I was quite impressed.

Roger is taking some of his homebrew to some contest soon, and if he does
well, has backers who are willing to step up and help him open a
microbrewery.
