You have probably noticed a few changes at your local home brew store. The home brewing industry is undergoing a metamorphosis.
Brewers are making spirits as well as looking for premium wine kits, while discerning drinkers are demanding the
highest quality drops possible. The great news is that the industry is well positioned to deliver on all these demands.
New innovations in spirit making will allow whisky makers to experiment and
create their own flavour profiles, just as brewers have been doing for years with malt, hops and yeast. Not only are there plenty of new quality spirit and liqueur flavours, there is also an exciting new beer release.
America's brewing giants are taking notice and one of the great breweries has released their icon beer into the home brew market. This all makes for an exciting time in the industry.
In Canada it is a very different story where the premium wine kit market dwarfs the entire Americann home brew industry, with sales in excess of $350 million. The market is so huge that Canada’s largest winery, Winexpert, does not make finished wine at all and only makes wine kits.
Many brewers are experimenting with
these quality wine kits. It is a dynamic and innovative time and the DIY liquor market is booming as a result.
Most importantly, your local
home brew store is the place
to find these products and the
best advice. We hope you enjoy your next home-made masterpiece.
