when decent beer and lager can be got for under £1 a pint, why bother making inferior stuff yourself?

Oh, definitely.
I miss working at real ale pubs greatly, running the cellar and having to continuously sample beers from across the country was excellent. I could be absolutely fucking wrecked by 10:00am during busy periods!

What sort of kit do you think has any effect on beer quality that is only available to commercial breweries?

The only thing i can think of is they possibly malt their own grains. I doubt many breweries even do that.

You're talking bollocks.
the only thing you need to brew beer is ingredients a container that wont react to the beer, somewhere with a sort of constant controllable temperature and time. In terms of expertise anyone with access to the internet can learn more in a weekend about brewing than the medieval monks in their caves could do in their entire lives.

My beer is pretty good.
Major problem with homebrewers as a whole is that they show off their beer probably 2 months before it's properly ready.

what I don't get is "kits"
seems a bit like cheating, sort of like buying an old el past fajita kit and pretending you made it all from scratch.

Old man rimmer is just wrong. Again.

if I were to do home brew I would probably just do cream ales, until I became the king of cream ales.

The Hoxton Pony is doing free food thursday evening
www.thehoxtonpony.com/whats_on
Not sure what kind of business model that is. Perhaps you get a very small portion of something very salty/spicy so you buy beer?

pubs often used to do free food back in the olden days before that were turned into beige wine bars and twee gastropubs
you could barely walk into an Irish bar without some old dear forcing a stale tomato sandwich on you

yerr, I called him a dull wanker because all he does is talk about tv shows and home brew and posts links to stuff from off the front page of reddit.
And he was on his period or something and ignored me.
