****Get through your undergraduate degree as inexpensively and as quickly as possible. ****
Apply for any and all financial aid opportunities. Grants you didn't even realize existed will start flying your way if you just fill out the FAFSA form:

The Meyer-Briggs Personality Index is something they had me take when I started my undergraduate studies. It helps you understand your strengths/weaknesses and suggests fields that will correspond well with your personality.
When it comes to choosing a field of study, find something that you enjoy and that you won't hate studying for the next 3-5 years. There will always be a course or two that you hate along the way, but if every single class you're taking is not something you enjoy, it's a good bet that you won't be satisfied with the job you'll get when you're done.
Seeing a career counselor sounds like a great idea. They'll help you sort through the big decisions.
Since you're interested in brewmaking, I recommend looking into the UC Davis
Master Brewers Program. Here's a pamphlet that describes it:

There are probably programs like it elsewhere, I'm just not familiar with any. This one is nice because you only need about one year of undergraduate work before starting the program, which you can complete inexpensively at a community college. The program itself is quick and inexpensive. The optional exam that you can take when you've completed the coursework is the equivalent of a master's degree. It'll get you far along your path to becoming the chief-cook-bottle-washer-everything-guy at a microbrewery.
Have fun figuring out your path!
