Home Brew

[Faustus]

I think of "homebrew" as homemade video games for emulators.
I think of "bootlegging" as making your own homemade beer/alcohol.
I think of coffee as coffee. Be it from home, 7/11 or Starbucks.

Bootlegging is not just making your own beer..... it's making and transporting for sale high proof alcohol/whiskey/liquor 8)

I doubt the guy sitting in his basement making some homebrew beer for personal consumption is conidered a bootlegger :P

Bootlegging would be selling stolen (or other illegal) items.

Wouldn't that be a fence

Correct on both points actually. Maybe not... I think I fence is the guy who BUYS the stolen goods from the theif.

Perhaps he's pissed

Now, not only don't we know what the OP is talking about, but we have to guess whether you mean that he is angry or drunk


I also thought software when I saw this thread. Guy's around her call beer-making "micro brewed". I've also heard it called bootlegging.

Guy's around her

Hurrrr? I didn't know you were from St. Louis.

Micro-Brew around here is a company that sells in small numbers. Often brew is for their own restaurant.

Bootlegging I usually equate to selling stolen software.

[lordsmurf]

I tihnk of "pirating" as making or selling stolen software.

I've also heard of "microbrew" before. Had many a great free beer at some of the small brewery tours. The big breweries don't really give out freebies anymore. Cheapskates.

Pirating would be steeling it - bootlegging would be selling it.

Free Beer?!?!? That's my favorite kind - 2nd is cold beer...

It is someone who BUYS & SELLS stolen merchandise.

I thought that the fence kept out the thieves.

That would be the Rottweiler...
