Profile Information

Favorite beer style(s) of the moment:
Currently hooked on Scottish ales. It's been rainy, foggy and dreary for the last several weeks here, so I think that has something to do with it.
Who am I?:
University of Iowa graduate. Beer lover. Living in Des Moines area, the best part of which is having the guys at Beer Crazy answer any and all of my questions about brewing.
Do you have a website? If so, what's the URL?
