Welcome to the All-new BITA

Ok, its official- beeristheanswer.com is no longer just an asinine blog. It's now a full-featured website that's just as asinine as before but with far more content. Keep in mind it's hardly finished. If you spend a little bit of time clicking around these pages you're bound to see what I mean.

During the coming weeks, expect many more changes around here. We'll continue to clean up the rough edges and to add content.

Soon you'll be able to access the most comprehensive homebrewing tutorials available on the web right here at BITA.

While you're here, be sure to stop by the forum and introduce yourself.
