You could go with "OLD BIRCH VIEW" and do a Birch Sap pale ale as your first brew.

Maybe not a pale ale as such but try this.
Ingredients
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 gallon crock
4 quarts finely cut sweet birch twigs
1 gallon honey
4 gallons birch sap
1 cake soft yeast
1 slice toasted rye bread
How to make it
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Measure 4 quarts of finely cut twigs of sweet birch into the bottom of a 5-gallon crock.
In a large kettle, boil together the honey and birch sap for 10 minutes.
Pour over chopped twigs.
When cool, strain to remove the twigs.
Return to the crock.
Spread cake of soft yeast on the slice of toasted rye bread.
Float on top of the beer in the crock.
Cover with a cloth.
Let ferment until the cloudiness just starts to settle, about a week but it depends somewhat on temperature.
Bottle the beer and cap tightly.
Store in a dark place and serve it cold after the weather gets hot.
It should stand in the bottles about 3 months before using.
If opened too soon, it will foam all over and pop worse than champagne.
**This is not a drink for children (I always had it!).
**Sweet Birch, also called Black Birch... Sweet birch or Cherry birch has a fragrant bark and twigs that smell of wintergreen. The sap flows about a month later than maple and much faster than maple. You tap the trees the same as maple but must gather about 3 times as often.
**The sap also can be boiled the same as maple but the syrup is much stronger, more like molasses.
