Our Story

My name is Josh Wheeler and I currently live overseas in a country where it’s not easy to get great beer. When I lived in the states, and even still when I return to the states, I love to drink craft beer! Therefore you see my predicament. I like good beer but I cant get good beer. This ultimately is what drove me to brew beer at home using a kit. It’s a decision that I should have made way sooner. I guess the first thing I should do is to qualify my beer tasting skills. After all who wants to take advice or be encouraged to brew beer by some noob who doesn’t even know what he is talking about. Certainly not me. I figure the best way to qualify myself is to list some of my favorite craft beer to see if your guys resonate with my opinions. I am from the North East (I guess if you can call Baltimore, Maryland that) but I lived in the south for almost 5 years. In Atlanta, Ga my favorite craft brewery is SweetWater Brewery although to be perfectly honest they have gotten a lot bigger over the years. I am not sure if this has at all affected their overall quality. Since I haven’t tasted a SweetWater 420 in almost 2 years I’ll qualify what I am saying with a “the last time” I had the 420, it was as tasty as ever and is still one of my favorite Pale ales. Terrapin Brewing Company’s Big Hoppy Monster is an amazing Imperial red. When I am in Baltimore, Md I really enjoy the Duck Pin Pale Ale from Union Craft Brewery. Their Double Duck Pin is one of the best Imperial IPA’s I have ever had.

That brings us to the purpose of this blog. Guys, Y’all can make really good beer super easily.  I’m talking about beer that compares with some of yall’s favorite beers. I know it sounds crazy! I wouldn’t have believed it either if I hadn’t done it myself but it’s 100% true. I am telling you the beer you can brew at home from a kit is not only as good as most of the beers your paying 3x the price for in the stores but it would be the freshest beer you have ever tasted in your life.    This blog is committed to helping whoever is willing to read it to take the 1st step to brewing homebrew with a kit. Again you can do it! It won’t cost a lot, it’s super easy and you’ll be so happy drinking your own brew from a kit. Here at Brew With A Kit, I’m only going to focus on brewing beer using a kit. There are plenty of other websites and blogs that are dedicated to covering every other type of brewing technique. Here, however, I am only encouraging you to start to brewing with a kit. It’s good! It’s cheap! It’s time to start! Come on and lets brew with a kit!
