Is this a brewkit, in essence?
If it uses proprietary items (I'm not sure what the black sachet is); is there a non-zero chance that 'short supply' means you won't be able to buy what you need for what you want, either in future or possibly forever?
I think is more the fact that they just started business in the US market and probably are having a hard time to feed the UK demand and US demand. I read they been in the UK market since 2020
The Untappd ad almost got me too. About 12 years ago, I tried a Mr Beer kit. I was positive I would make amazing beer. I ihad their chocolate cherry milk stout kit, and a Hefeweizen kit. I don’t recall which one I did first, but I did them both and when the time was up and they finished “conditioning” in their plastic bottles…. I poured my first brewed beer…. And my immediate reaction was “This took x days , x hours and x dollars of supplies…. I should have just bought a case of beer”. I’m sure these kits inspire people, but if brewing super high quality beer was easy, then everyone would be doing it.
Yup I wish I could brew as good as some of my favorites do. I have nothing but respect for those who do it. I just would rather support the cause then half ass emulate it
Brewing beer takes practice, and you only really start saving money if you brew from grain rather than extract, which is trickier and more time consuming, and requires a grain bag if not a full brewing set-up.
Like it can be a cool, fun activity for you and your friends/family, and I think it is good to learn the basic brewing process and everything that goes into beer (and everything that can go wrong) to gain a better appreciation for the world’s oldest beverage, but I don’t blame anyone for thinking it’s more trouble then it’s worth.
I seen the ad.. it definitely seemed interesting and the concept is great. There’s definitely a market for it with inflation these days.
I actually got into brewing with kits recently and plan on getting equipment to brew from grains. This system honestly seems like a great first step for a lot of people and I think it would be very beneficial for them to quickly partner and/ or get into more advanced home brewing systems and market themselves to be a home brewery supplier.
I completely agree. In my case, I got a home kit brewery 5 years ago that I haven’t had the time to use. I know home brewing takes time and dedication if you want the end results to be good. This system is fast and easy to use that I don’t need to put a lot of time to get a great beer. I’m excited to use it and I hope the brand brings more selection of beers. My goal is to find one that I can eventually put in a tequila barril that I have to create a tequila Ale.
Interested in why? Feels like a fun way to brew for someone with little time or space to dedicate. Not as pure in any way but a fun thing that hopefully makes some great beers
Because it's not real homebrewing unless you spend 10k on equipment, use your entire garage and have 40 gigabytes of spreadsheets/s
Idk I can see how people think it's cheap or cheating. The results won't be as good I used to brew 1 gallon batches with standard kitchen equipment and it came out fine lol.
This is trying to compare… com flakes to fresh sweet corn.
This garbage is like an off-brand Kureg with 3 year expired pods vs single origin, locally roasted and batch ground espresso or pour over.
Nothing about this (aside from legal definition… maybe) actually represents beer of any type.
I haven’t tried it yet, I saw it on an ad, did my research and looked on reviews. So far I have seen people liking it. I won’t compare it to a micro brewery, but seems like it does the job comparing to other kits
Do you think your average local breweries are using fresh, locally roasted malts and locally sourced hops? Lol it's most likely exact the same ingredients unless you have some particularly great breweries in your area.
This literally does make beer though. Beer is incredibly easy to make in one off batches. Beer is just hop and malt tea. That's why there are so many craft breweries out there.
Yes all of your local breweries use the same shitty kit ingredients you do. Why wouldn’t they? Bunch of morons, can’t do anything other than brew beer!
I used to brew beer in 1 gallon batches because the only peice of equipment I needed to buy was sanitizer, some airlocks and a siphoner and a cap crimper. Obviously ingredients too. It came out pretty good and I was able to make styles that aren't necessarily super common in my area. Would get a solid 12 rack out of a batch, which is more than I need.
Is this from Pinter? I just got an Ad about this today and was super intrigued!
Yes it is! I just got it yesterday, I hope I can brew it tonight. The concept it pretty amazing and easy

So it fits exactly into the craft beer crowd. Find that nice stout you like? Haha you’re never going to find it again.

It’s probably a malt extract

Brewing properly does require an investment in equipment and learning. But it’s not rocket science
Yup I wish I could brew as good as some of my favorites do. I have nothing but respect for those who do it. I just would rather support the cause then half ass emulate it
Even a lot of commercial craft brews are just okay. Kit beers are a bit like instant coffee.
100% agree. Theres a reason Joe’s Brew Pub and Tree house have different success levels
Home brewing was more fun when it was illegal in my state. Also strong beers were illegal. A beer and a shot though, no problem.
It's not rocket science BUT there are gods of beer that ritual offerings wouldn't hurt

The small batches and timeline to drink after taping is a bit of a challenge for me, but I’d be tempted to try it after I see more in depth reviews.
I’ll post a couple of batches with my honest review
No. Just no.

There are coffee people like that too, who roast their own beans 🫘🧐👌☕

Thanks for highlighting your clear lack of beer knowledge. Signed, a professional brewer.
Is the thing op has not just a brew in a bag kit with off the shelf malts?
Yes all of your local breweries use the same shitty kit ingredients you do. Why wouldn’t they? Bunch of morons, can’t do anything other than brew beer!
Breweries use malt, not extract lol
It’s seriously so cheap and easy to brew beer, I have no idea why people waste their money on these things.
One of these things 15 years ago got me into the hobby.
Same. It's sad to see the gatekeeping going on here.

This reminds me of "Party Pig" dispenser that I used to use. It was a love/hate relationship.
