I love beer so I started brewing beer. For something like brewing beer I figured and heard that it is worth going to a local homebrew store and getting the down low. What Ales Ya is the closest store to my house about 30 minutes each way. The drive is completely worth it as all other posts here point out.
We were greeted as we came in and once I let them know I wanted to start brewing beer their excitement level grew. They walked me though every aspect of brewing the brew kit I wanted to do (Hop Nog 2010) and even talked me out of going glass.
I posted about my first brewing experience here and will update as the process continues. http://bit.ly/eN44JU
