Man tired of rising beer costs begins home brewing - saving nearly £3,000 in three years

A man who'd become frustrated after the price of a beer down his local rose to £6 decided to take action into his own hands, delving into the world of home brewing.

Chris Banks hasn't looked back since spending £700 on home brewing equipment over lockdown, and says he spends less than one pound on each pint, sinking 528 since beginning his brewing journey in 2019.

According to Chris, 43, he has made savings of nearly £1,000 a year since switching to brewing at home, a total of £2,850 over three years.
