I did, eventually! I was apprenticed to the apothecary when I was thirteen and spent a couple of years grinding elfroot and distilling embrium oil and powdering deep mushrooms and things like that, and watching Master Halsey at his craft, and wondering when I was going to get to do something. Once I'd proved I had some sense in my head and a steady hand, then he let me start brewing. That's actually how I fell into the job I do here - we've more than enough people who can swing a sword, but there aren't that many of us who've got the skills to make liquor and beer, and I was making potions and poisons (and amateur whiskey) long before I was fighting much.
