have you ever had finnish beer? don't worry if you haven't because you aren't missing much. kaitlin, matti and i have taken matters into our own hands with help from our friend kochun. he's from seattle and after being here a little while he decided that he needed to brew his own beer if he wanted to drink any at all. so, he's provided expertise and we've so far produced 19 liters of american pale ale (all of which disappeared on the night of our housewarming party), 22 liters of a honey wheat beer and we have another 22 liters of that will be ready in a week or so.
