Grow Beer In Your Very Own Beer Garden

You don't need to have a full beer garden. As you can see here , beer can also be planted in an ordinary vegetable garden.

People will generally buy bottled beer out of convenience, but there is nothing quite as satisfying as the sweet nectar grown from your very own beer garden. And you should know that starting your own beer garden is as easy as a trip to the liquor store.

It's not that hard to get yourself loaded...up with the necessary supplies. All you need is a small garden (or even just a couple of flower planters), a few dozen empty bottles, and a home-brewing kit (available at any alcoholic outlet), which will contain all the seeds, yeast, grains, and necessary planting instructions.

People hesitate to start gardening projects, because they think they will be spending more time with their knees in the dirt, than they will sucking back "cold ones" in front of their wide screen television. Yes, while it's true that beer gardening is a great hobby and the more you put into it the-more-you'll-get-out-of-it, it's also an easy way to save a few dollars on your drinking budget. You'd be surprised to learn that just a couple of hours of beer gardening can reap you a bounty of booze.

There aren't any secrets to growing good beer. With decent soil, regular watering, and just the right amount of sunshine, even the beginning beer gardener can grow a small crop of his favourite ale, lager, or stout.

Don't worry! While you're waiting for your first beers to blossom, you can still stock up with a few hand-selected cases of your favourite brand-named brew to help you pass the time while your beer garden grows.

And the reward will be worth that wait. Once the bottle caps start to pop up out of the soil, you'll know that you're ready to sample the fruits (or nectars) of your labour. Carefully pluck the bottles from the ground, gather them up in a portable cooler, and wash them gently under a tap or a hose. Now you're ready for a drink!

After you've tried a few fresh-picked bottles of all-natural, home-grown beer from your very own beer garden, you'll be hard-pressed to going back to drinking chemically-tainted, commercial vat-brewed beer. You'll instantly taste the difference between garden-grown and store-bought beer.

When you've become comfortable with growing your own beer in your beer garden, you can always expand and experiment with other organic products, such as root beer, wheat beer, or even rice wine. Try adding honey, lemon, or vanilla for a different flavour. And if you're really feeling ambitious, dig up a larger hole in the corner of your beer garden and plant yourself a keg.

Just remember though that your tasty garden-variety beer won't contain any preservatives, so you'll need to drink it a lot faster than you normally would with the traditional store-bought kind. Although, to most Brits or Canadians, this probably won't be an issue.
