A man is saving £1,000 a year by brewing his own beer for just 43p a pint. Kim Blackburn, 65, used to spend approximately £130 a month on heading to the pub but decided take up home brewing to save cash and make great booze.
After spending £70 on equipment, some from Facebook Marketplace, he started making his own beers and ciders around four years ago. Now he makes around up to 40 pints of a beer for just £17 every three weeks, meaning each pint costs around 43p - a far cry from the £4.20 he used to spend per drink.
Retired Kim, from Cross Hands, south Wales, who is currently brewing Scottish heavy bitter and stout, said: "I just do it for my own pleasure. "I'm finding that I enjoy my beer more than the pub's now - I think my stout is absolutely marvelous, if I do say so myself.
