What’s your Dream Job? Making beer wouldn’t be so bad, eh?
Meet Egotv.com, a terrific website for us guys and new bestest buddies with PlanetZman! The site has all kinds of useful manly man stuff, including it’s own dedicated online mini-shows that are a hell lot of fun – and my new favorite is Tom Arnold Dream Jobs.
I’ve always really liked Tom Arnold’s humor, he’s a funny, down to earth guy and the perfect person to host this new show. In this episode, Tom visits Gordon Biersch, a Microbrewery in Burbank, California, that makes real German beer-garden style beers! It’s a true learning experience for all of us as the Head Brew Master shows us everything that goes into crafting a microbrewed beer.
Did you know that the complete cycle is five weeks to go from grain to glass? Hops, barley, water, and yeast is all you need to make a kick-ass brew and you’ll have fun seeing how it’s done – up close and personal! Damn it, guys, I wanna make some beer, too!
So click the link, watch the show, learn and enjoy!

I’ve been brewing my own beer for about 13 years now, and while it is alot of fun (and sometimes quite rewarding), it is ALOT of work and is really an aquired taste. To get the malt/hops/carbonation level just perfect requires quite a scientific touch.
Some of the best brews I have made are my meads (some are in the bottle since ‘99, and it drinks like velvet) and some crazy wines (blueberry wines gathered from local blueberry bushes and my grandfather’s recipe for dandelion wine — which doesn’t taste great but will most definitely knock your socks off).
The mead, however, is the best. The only problem with mead is the amount of time needed to sit in the carboy, and the amount of time needed to sit in a bottle. The bigger problem is that once you drink it, there is no more.
