People have been brewing beer for thousands of years. With this amount of history behind one of the world’s most popular beverages, it is no wonder that people like to be able to make their own beer in the comfort of their homes. In our experience, brewing beer has its own intrinsic value. Something about the brewing process stokes that area of the brain that is satisfied by the creative process. When you brew a beer, it’s not just any beer. It is a beer that you made, a beer that you designed, and a beer that you toiled over. Additionally, home brewing is a great hobby to pick up because it takes a relatively small amount of work to brew a batch of beer. If you brew using extracts, the entire process only takes a few hours over the course of several weeks, and even an all grain brewing process only adds a few hours of additional work. This means that homebrewing is perfect for people who need to be able to adjust the amount of time their hobbies take to match their schedule.

Save Money and Make New Friends

Another great benefit that comes along with brewing your own beer is the fact that it allows you to make a whole batch of beer for very little money compared to buying it in the store. Even with the initial investment in equipment, you only have to brew a few batches of beer before the cost savings start to outweigh the amount of money that you have put into your system. In addition to the cost saving benefits of brewing, it is also a great way to meet new people! There are countless websites, blogs, forums, and clubs that are dedicated to sharing homebrew recipes, new brewing techniques, and reviews on the latest brewing equipment. Homebrewers are passionate about their craft,  and it is enjoyable to be able to share this passion with a like-minded group of people.
