You will notice that there is a photo gallery on this site.  Over the past few years I have documented my projects, brew sessions and experiences.  In the coming days, I will start using these photos in posts as I describe my adventures in brewing, cooking, building my brewery and more.

At the moment, they are not organized.  I am anxious to get this site up and running so that I can share my story.  And, there are certainly more pictures to come.

This is the beginning of Holden A Home Brew. First, I want to thank many of my closest friends who have helped me build my “out of contol” home brewery.

Most of all, I would like to thank my wife who has been so patient with me as I have put so much time and effort into this hobby. She has been a great support and has provided me encouragement. It is very common for us home brewer guys to create posts on beer forums and say things like, “I plan to build this or buy that if only SWMBO will let me.” While I may say that in jest, my wife has allowed me to run down the trail of what seems to be a never ending journey. Thanks doll.

I LOVE making BEER. This site is dedicated to the obsessive hobby of making beer and the steps necessary to getting carried away and the possibility of finding oneself in the business fulltime. Grab a beer, sit down, and try not to hurt yourself as you navigate this new site.

And, if that is not enough, I have many other interests that will show up on this site. I am excited about throwing all of this out there and then seeing what all of you have to say.

So grab a beer and join the discussion.
