Be a brewer for the day!

This is the ideal gift for someone with an interest in beer who wants to know a little more about the art of brewing or perhaps just to make a change from all those boring hot air balloon rides and fast car track days. For just £99 for the day you get partake in making and understanding a beer yourself.
