It's not a hobby,It's an obsession

For me, it would be a hobby. I would have put it in obsession category years ago but as the number of microbrew and craft brewers have increased and the relaxation of the alcohol content law in this state, I tend to look for well-made beers from across the country than to brew my own. I still enjoy the experimentation with ingredients as an engineer, I find my time being utilized in other activities more.
