“Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza.” – Dave Barry (from Twenty Great Beer Quotes)

So many people love beer that quotes about beer are abundant, inspired by the drink itself. The main ingredients in beer are hops, barley and wheat. Imagine being able to grow them and then make your own beer! That would be fantastic, and now you can do it for only $24.99 with the Grow Your Own Beer Garden from Think Geek. I love how they phrased it, “Grow then Glug!”

“With the Grow Your Own Beer Garden kit, the plants sprout and grow quickly and easily. You’ll get the magic three: hops – the flavoring and stability agent of beer; barley – integral in making beer and able to regulate blood sugar levels for up to ten hours after consumption; and wheat – used to aid in fermentation and is the second most produced food in the world.”

As an avid home brewer this is definitely an interesting product, however it is worth noting that you will not likely grow enough to brew any substantial amount of beer. You might grow just enough hops to flavor a home brew kit but it also take several years before hops produce enough flowers to do so.

Still it would be fun to have if nothing more than for the conversation.

cheers,
