i agree, it's a difficult decision.
you may be able to enjoy your hobby to a lesser extent if you stick to bottled beers (draft is a definite no-no) and you get lucky as to how your body metabolizes the thyramine. however, one babbler on here did have a reaction to a microbrew beer, and i believe it was bottled. so you would definitely have to tread carefully. (and keep an antidote on you like nifedipine).
on the plus side, if it really did help with your depression you would be able to find and appreciate many more things than you otherwise would...and fulfilling new hobbies are possible.
good luck with whatever you choose.
