My feelings on the function of brewing is to put a smile on the face of the
consumer.
After all, if the person tasting the brew doesn't like it there is less
chance of 
it being intoxicating (don't like, don't drink, don't get inebriated).  Of
course,
there are folks who'll drink anything if it has alcohol.  

My 2 cents,
