The Festival Beer Kits range is one of the most exciting premium home brew ranges available in the UK. Festival kits are inspired by classic British real ales, world beer styles, and craft brewing traditions, using high-quality ingredients to produce beers with real depth, character, and complexity. These are kits for brewers who take their home brewing seriously — and want results to match.
Each 3kg kit produces approximately 40 pints of premium-quality beer at £28.99 — around 72p per pint for beer that genuinely rivals craft pub offerings.
Available in 14 styles: Father Hooks Best Bitter, Suffolk Strong Ale, Summer Glory, Pilgrims Hope, Pride of London, Landlords Finest, Golden Stag, World Vienna Red Lager, World German Weiss, World New Zealand Pilsner, Brigadier Amber Ale, Britfire Best Bitter, Wright's Golden Ale, and Friar's Ale Strong Bitter.

Tips for Best Results
- Condition for at least 2–3 weeks in the bottle — Festival kits genuinely reward patience
- Use medium crystal spray malt with the amber and bitter styles for a richer, more complex result
- Ferment at 18–20°C for the cleanest flavour expression
- Serve British styles at cellar temperature (10–12°C) for the best flavour
