I got the chance to brew my own beer for the first time last week. Holy crap, what a great experience!!! The Brew Kettle has a lot going on. In addition to the fantastic business model of allowing customers to brew/bottle their own beer, they also have a nice bar & restaurant area up front and extremely tasty food. Everyone there was seemed to be having fun and was really friendly. Even though the brewing area was busy, we received good service and had a good time chatting with the staff and other fellow beer brewers.
Protip: Get the smoked wings with dry rub. Some of the best I've ever had.
Protip 2: Don't shy away from preparing your own brew. The instructions they give you are very easy to follow and the staff is there to help if you need it. The whole process generally takes 2-3 hours; YMMV. Then you come back in a few weeks for bottling!
