Law professor, Glenn Reynolds decided to brew his own beer when he was unhappy with the major companies’ offerings.

Plus: the inventor of the flash mobs reveals his identity and the results of a pointless social experiment; new legislation to require employers to provide health insurance in New York; South Dakota tests the new balance on the Supreme Court by outlawing abortions; and should steroids and other "enhancements" for athletes be allowed?
