My wife bought me my original homebrewing kit and has always been a huge supporter. As an example...we're working on a bathroom remodel. She wanted to get a custom made fused glass sink. Very arty, very expensive...so expensive that I didn't ask how much. If that's what she wants, that's what she deserves. She brought home the prototype and I was astounded to see that she'd had the artist make glass hop leaves and cones and set them into the sink! WOW!!!!
That's awesome Denny

It was the first I'd heard of using ale that way, so now I have to figure out how to work it into conversation.
Much in the same way that I constantly try to work the phrase "cock ale" into everyday conversation.
