Beermaking kits from Better Brew, a Hambleton Bard brand, contains the best liquid malt extracts and the best yeast strains from across the world. This is homebrew taken to a new level – make professional beer at home from a kit! Better Brew homebrew beer kits from Hambleton Bard.

There are no colourings at all in the Better Brew kits, neither caramel (which if used has to show on the ingredients list) nor malt colourings (which don’t need to be declared). All colour in the Better Brew range is derived from the malt itself. It won’t get any more natural than this.

The Better Brew range of kits come in DOY packaging (standing up plastic pouches) because it:

• Allows us to use different weights, so more malt in the dark ales,
• Is better for handling, especially online and mail order sales,
• Gives us a lower carbon footprint than using metal cans,
• Gives us a lower packaging cost, so we can use more expensive raw materials.
