Starkville Homebrew

StarkvilleHomebrew gets a mention in The Reflector

October 30th, 2009 by braddock

starkville-homebrew-reflector God bless you Google.  The fine folks at Mississippi State University’s student newspaper The Reflector searched “Starkville” and “beer” and found us.  Starkville isn’t regarded as a city with a craft brew culture, but we’re trying to change that.

If you’re a fan of good beer, made with care and flavor, we’re awful glad to meet you.  I hope this site piques your interest and you give homebrewing a shot.  It’s not difficult, humans were brewing long before the wheel.  The flavor will make you kick yourself for the years you’ve wasted drinking watery swill from the big American breweries.  Homebrewing really separates the beer connoisseur from the beer consumer.

If you’re among the quality beer uninitiated, It’s not your fault.  As a Mississippian the cards are truly stacked against you.  Mississippi is the only state in the country that restricts the amount of alcohol by volume percentage in beer to 5.9%.  This restriction is supported with childish glee by the big breweries because it gives them a stranglehold on distribution in the state. The ABV cap keeps 90% of their beer competition out of Mississippi.  For more on this ongoing wrong please check out RaiseYourPints…they’re fighting to give you the liberty enjoyed by the rest of our nation.

Welcome to StarkvilleHomebrew!  Let’s make some beer.

    ahs-sumitt-ipa-extract Summit IPA extract kit from Austin Homebrew Supply This kit is an awesome assault on the senses with 3oz of a high alpha hop named Summit.  It comes in with an O.G. of 1.072 and approximately 7.5% ABV. This is my first high gravity brew and I can't help whispering it words of encouragement as it bubbles away in the fermentor.

About Starkville Homebrew

It’s hard being a good beer lover in North Mississippi. Our state’s antiquated restriction on the allowed percentage of alcohol by volume in beer prevents the majority of craft beers and microbrews from being sold in Mississippi. As a result our store shelves and coolers are stocked mainly with the tasteless offerings from the three American mega-breweries.

Beer brewed with love, care, and quality ingredients is tough for the average Mississippian to find. Thankfully home brewing is a legal option for beer connoisseurs in our state. I’ve just taken up this hobby and I’m discovering how easy it can be to create my own truly incredible homebrew. I know there are others in the Starkville area who appreciate good beer. My hope is that we can find each other and build a local culture of home brewing together.
