About homebrewandbeer.com

Homebrewandbeer.com is a hobby for Oliver and Geoff. We didn't set up the site to make money; we created it so that we could share our love of beer. As much as we'd like to make our livings from beer, we both have grown-up jobs. Because of pesky work we don't always have the time that we'd like to devote to beer and beer-related activity such as homebrewandbeer.com. So if you've sent us an email and we haven't replied yet, we apologise. We will get to you, eventually.
