Brewmania is a phase of beer-disorder. It is characterized by sustained periods of abnormally elevated or irritable malts, intense yeasts, racing hops and other extreme and exaggerated ingredients. A brewmanic episode may be interspersed within periods of depression during which a brew could experience symptoms such as fermenting, cold crashing and hoplessness. The signs and features of brewmania can vary from person to person and can last anywhere from a few days to several months or as in this case - a devoted lifetime.
