When times are tough, those whose thirst for beer doesn’t quite match up with their bank balance turn to home-brewing to plug the gap. But as the recipients of home-brewed gifts from overzealous relatives know only too well, the results can often disappoint.
Not any more, according to Walthamstow-based Pinter, who claim to have come up with a solution. Their new product, the Pinter Keg, can make good-quality, consistent beer on a budget. Once customers have invested in the £79 keg, it costs £1.50 a pint with brewing kits made of the best ingredients which can be delivered through the letterbox.
