Ah yes. I'd forgotten about homebrew.

When I lived in eastern KY the nearest beer was 12 miles away. I
started making my own. Finally figured out that I wasn't a brewmaster
and didn't play one on TV, so I gave the equipment to a colleague when
we moved.

Went to a party shortly after we moved. The host was moving too, and
needed to get rid of a bunch of homebrew that he didn't want to pack,
so that was the only beer available. He raved about how good his
homemade swill was. I took a sip and thought immediately "Gad, I've
poured better 'beer' than this down the drain!" Couldn't finish it.
