Aside from the beer thing, just spent a few days in Huntsville, AL. Nice town, i m sure its a bit different from the rest of AL (NASA, Redstone and all govt contractors in this area). Got a few good restaurants and such.

Huntsville also has the most PhDs per capita than any city in the United States...

well, i'll keep it on track. i'll be picking up my brewing kit pretty soon to learn how to do my own. from there i'm going to start experimenting with different ingredients. pretty sure i'm going to start with a pale ale.

I've been saving bottles and doing a lot of research to brew my own also.

i brew my own. i recommend just buying "grolsh" style bottles with the clamp down tops. capping is a pain. this saves a lot of time. plus they are pint bottles instead of 12 oz. i just did a killer ipa with special ingredients. awesome.
