WETBEER Steve Brown wants to be all Wet, so he dubbed his brew Wetbeer. Brown recalls, "When I cracked open this dry beer a few years ago I said, 'Dry beer. This doesn't make sense. Beer's 95-percent water. It's supposed to be refreshing. It's supposed to be wet. It's not supposed to be dry.'" With an internet site boasting slogans such as "get wet," "wet yourself" and "dry's out, wet's in," Brown created a virtual beer without having brewed bottle one. Brown describes his new brewed beer as a light domestic golden lager. The microbrew has been described as "extremely smooth, refreshing with a hint of sweetness." He contract-brews the beer from Pittsburgh Brewing Co. and Gluek Brewing Co.
