Homebrew can be exceptionally good, exceptionally bad, or exceptionally mediocre. It is not hard to make a really good beer, IMO.

I started brewing because I could not buy really great beer in my home state. Depending on where you live and what you have access to, homebrewing may be pointless if you are just looking for really good beer. If I lived in a state that distributed beer from the Bell's or Founders breweries, I would have never started brewing.
