Not sure which type of kit to get?
**Extract Brewing**
Perfect for beginners, extract brewing uses pre-made malt extract to save time and simplify the process. Quick, easy, and requires minimal equipment—ideal for getting started.
**All-Grain Brewing**
For advanced brewers, all-grain offers complete control over flavor and ingredients. It’s more involved and equipment-heavy, but delivers maximum customization and authenticity.
All kits are sold without yeast. Please select yeast from suggested items at the bottom of this page.
This dark lager is loaded with rich flavors of freshly baked bread, deep malt and a touch of cocoa to clean everything up. Just enough noble hop presence to balance everything out. One of our favorite beers to drink many pints of.
