With the cost of the average pint predicted to be well on its way towards £7, an increasing number of drinkers are turning away from the pub for their booze fix. Instead, with the World Cup kicking off in November and Christmas nearly upon us, many are looking to make their own beer with home brewing kits.
Home brewing can be far more economical, with the ingredients for making beer at home working out at just 50p a pint. And connoisseurs say homemade brews taste just as nice as commercially brewed tipples.
Beer kits are becoming increasingly sought after as people look for ways to relax while watching the football and enjoy the festive period without devastating their bank balance. Steve Wilson-Sampson, a car salesman from Chesterfield in Derbyshire, is brewing 120 pints for over Christmas.
