We’ve all dreamed of dropping out of the rat-race to make one of those charming micro-brewed beers with a hand-drawn label. But it takes more than a bathtub full of hops and a dream to make a good microbrewed beer. You need a long, quirky name that makes anyone who orders your beer at a bar feel both cool and slightly embarrassed. Don’t let the fact that you can’t come up with one stop you from following your microbrewing destiny.
