Blue Moon Beer
Blue Moon Beer is a wheat ale created by the Blue Moon Brewing Company. Blue Moon was founded in 1995, in Denver, Colorado. The beer is now produced by Molson Coors.http://thebrewclub.com/2009/05/15/blue-moon-wheat-beer-review/ Their Belgian White beer won three years in a row at the World Beer Championships. http://www.bluemoonbrewingcompany.com/
When President Barack Obama called Officer James Crowley to discuss the controversial arrest of Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates, Sgt. Crowley was having a beer at an Irish pub in Massachusetts. Obama asked Crowley what he was drinking. The President learned that they both prefer Blue Moon. Obama then invited Crowley to have a beer with him at the White House.http://www.nydailynews.com/news/2009/07/26/2009-07-26_hello_sgt_crowley_its_the_president.html

Brew Your Own Beer
Home brew equipment consists of a kettle for brewing, which can be a standard stainless steel or other heavy duty stockpot, a long spoon, a candy thermometer, a strainer and a bottle or bucket. Experts recommend the use of rubber stopper or airlock, a plastic hose and a supply of bottles to store the finished product in.http://www.motherearthnews.com/Real-Food/2008-10-01/Homebrewing-How-to-Make-Beer.aspx?page=2
The ingredients used to brew your own beer vary depending on your tastes, however, the basic ingredients to make beer are water, malt, hops and yeast. Dextrose or corn sugar is used during the bottling process. Chlorine bleach is often used to sanitize the supplies before making beer.http://www.byo.com/newbrew
The steps to making your own brew at home include preparation, boiling the beer, adding hops, cooling the wort, sanitizing the storage bottles and associated equipment, transferring to the fermenter, adding the yeast and allowing the wort to ferment into beer. The final step is bottling the newly made beer.http://www.byo.com/newbrew
