Invest in a decent brew kit, find a local brewstore, and try 5 batches before you quit.
There's a cool little brew store just up the street from me who got me thinking about it again. They do a lot of brewing in the store and have a free class once a month or so. I'd buy stuff from them if I did it, not a Mr. Beer.
It just seems like a good way to learn a little more about beer and the flavors in it.

If you invite me over for a cookout this summer, which you really should, please have a generous supply of Schlafly products on hand. You drink your crap, I'll drink the Schlafly.

If I do get around to brewing I'm going to bottle it in Schlafly bottles and toss it right in the same cooler.

I'll be in attendance pounding Stag 2x4s.
It's going to be trickier getting my [expletive] homebrew into your Stag cans.
