Its was a good mix of both homebrew and commercial beers and I feel similar on beer shares. Most homebrewers that I know are older guys. Homebrewing reflects the same headwinds as the beer industry in general in a lack of interest from younger generations.
A good chuck of homebrew guys that I've met both here and in Chicago are more into lagers and traditional styles and not so much hype IPAs and big stouts so I definitely read the room when choosing what to bring along to share.
There were a couple really good homebrewed Oktoberfests onboard which I'm always down for.
