Why Homebrewed Beer Is Green

I've recently revived my interest in homebrewed beer. After some spectacularly unsuccessful attempts as a teenager (OK, I started young...), I must admit that I had resigned to buying my beer from the store. But inspired by Sara's tips on homebrewing beer, and Brian's homemade hard cider recipe, I decided it was time I got into my own homemade alcohol again. As I wrote a few weeks back, I invited some friends with more brewing experience, cooked up some food, and threw a homebrewing party. The result was a delightful, if I say so myself, pale ale that I've been sipping on in the hot summer sun.
