I have a Kentucky Common Ale in fermenter now. If you get started brewing beer, that's a good one to make. Fairly easy, and ooh so good. Thank you Kentucky for that good ale recipe.
Welcome to the hobby! I live in Frankfort. There are a few other homebrewers around me. Lexington (BOCK), Louisville (LAGERS), and N KY (http://nkyhomebrewers.org/) have active homebrew clubs. There may be a few more.
