Brewers save themselves tax. Even in Germany one can brew 200 litres per worker in your micro-brewery tax free. Pubs who want to offer their customers something completely different should consider starting their own micro-brewery. Hotels can offer brewing courses to their guests, especially out of season, in the same way as ever more adult education institutes already do. New business opportunities will open up to the Homebrewer.
Brewing is a hobby for men, men and women and especially for women.
Tea and cakes in the afternoon is supposed to have its origins in the need for brewesses to swap experiences. The first ever women's Homebrew get-together has yet to be realised. Brewing is a hobby for women and men from ripe youth to active old age. It isn't just the solitary Homebrewer who can experience the joy of brewing. All the pub regulars can open up their own micro-brewery and elect their master brewer from their number, who will then take responsibility for the next decoction.
