For my birthday this year, my best pal Ashton got me a beer-making kit from Brooklyn Brew Shop. I got the Everyday IPA, which I hope will be good, as I love IPA. I can't wait to break into this thing and see what happens. The whole process looks like it takes a few weeks and few simple steps, but I'll have a beer-tasting when it's all done and report back.

Can't wait! Thanks, Ashton!
