From Honolulu??? It's a bit of a drive... Haha. I'm down. If all goes according to plan, I want to host an octoberfest next year with a bunch of brews.
Awesome. I just think it'll be so different, you know? Plus... Who doesn't like monkey bread?! I'm also planning an oatmeal raisin cookie stout in a few months. I'll keep you posted if you'd like.

My first beer was a Hefe that the brew store had a recipe for to get me going. Came out decent, so...
