One of Matt's newer hobbies is home brewing his own beer, which is a trend that is gaining popularity lately. I enjoy beer, maybe not as much as wine, but I do enjoy a good beer now and then. While it started off as an idea of Matt's, I quickly became involved to help with the brewing process. I do enjoy making our own food and drinks when possible, so I decided to join in, at least for the first brew.
There are quite a few steps involved in the process. We ended up hitting a few tiny bumps in the road to creating beer, but it wasn't nearly as difficult as I expected it to be! It was hard to believe that we would actually have *drinkable* beer that we made, but at the end of this process, we did! And it tasted better than I expected on top of that! We ended up taking a bunch of the bottles with us on our road trip home to Chicago for Christmas, and after sharing a bunch with friends and family, we had almost none left for ourselves... time to find another recipe to brew! Also, I'm kind of excited about the possibility of designing a logo of our own for the bottles... we just need to come up with a name first...

We are so proud of our Texas Red Ale! Stay tuned for more home projects coming very soon!
