Just my opinion, but that seems to align pretty well with home brewing.
But fun! It only take a couple of hours and gives me time to BS on BF - I'm brewing a red ale right now!
Just like any large group IE. cyclists. There is a large cross section of folks. It feels like you are right that more commuters/touring folks would be into home brewing. I commute 30rt every day and also brew on occasion. One of the other guys at work that also rides/commutes is a big time home brewer.
