Gift Idea: Beer to Brew Yourself at Home

MUNICH, GERMANY--(Marketwired - Nov 5, 2015) - Trying things out for yourself is all the rage. And what could be better than also being able to make a Man's favourite drink at home? The Brewbarrel beer brewing kit enables everyone to brew their own beer at home precisely according to their own taste.

The innovative concept from this start-up company from Munich enables you to customize 5 liters of beer and promises to easily transform every customer into a master brewer using the Brewbarrel beer brewing kit. You can create your own individual beer from over 100,000 possibilities by selecting from a variety of different sorts of beer and numerous taste sensations in the categories fruit, spices, and wood at www.brewbarrel.co.uk.

All of the required ingredients are subsequently carefully weighed and delivered to the home of the prospective brewer. The beer can then be prepared for fermentation in 10 minutes without the need for any prior knowledge or additional equipment. Once the barrel has been prepared, the beer needs to ferment at room temperature for five days and then mature in the fridge for a further two days. The self-brewed beer can be freshly served from the barrel after just one week. Founder Wolfgang Westermeier explains: "Brewing beer is extremely easy with Brewbarrel."

Seasonal beers for winter and the Christmas period are currently waiting to be brewed: Wheat beer with wood chips from whiskey barrels, a German dark beer with roasted oak wood and honey, and a spiced Christmas beer that is only available for a limited period of time. In addition, there are a variety of gift sets available such as the experimentation kit. The experimentation kit allows you to try out a variety of taste sensations in finished beer before brewing and then to subsequently brew your own dream beer. It is in many ways an experimentation kit for adults -- or the child in every man!

In order to make it easier to find just the right gift, the gift finder provides beer recommendations for different types of men. For example, a festival beer that has been matured in an oak barrel is recommended for nature lovers and a bitter pils with fiery jalapeño peppers is ideal for the macho man, while connoisseurs can enjoy a dark beer with cherry flavor and roasted oak chips.
