I figured that after about six months on the board and 250 posts, I would finally introduce myself.
I got interested in beer as something to do with my 22 year old son. Six months later, I brew the beer, occasionally with his help, and he helps me drink it.
I live in Tyler TX with my wife and one of my three kids. The other two also live in town, but no longer with us. I work in the medical field.
In six months, I have progressed from canned pre-hopped extract to having just completed my fourth AG batch and kegging. Unlike some of you, not all of my beers have been that good. In fact, my first two - a Cooper's wheat and a Cooper's stout - were barely drinkable. Since then, with the advice from this board, they have gotten much better. On tap now I have Ed's Haus Pale Ale, and a Red Hook ESB clone (my first AG) that I also found here. Both are excellent and easily as good as any microbrew I've tasted.
My other big hobby is poker (playing and collecting chips). This is a good thing because I'm brewing much faster than I can drink without a lot of help. Poker night usually helps me empty a keg.
