I gave my husband one of these Mr. Beer® Microbrewery kits for Christmas a while back, and now he keeps us supplied with great, fresh, home brewed beer. It's so much better than the stuff from the store!

West Coast Pale Ale is included with kit. All beer mixes are made of 100% natural ingredients with no additives preservatives.

Hint: Get a second carboy (the keg fermenter) and you can stagger your batches for a constant supply.

We always stocked up on "rainy day projects" when I was a kid. My mother still says that she doesn't know what she would have done without glitter and glue. This kit is way more fun than that! This Color Your Own Umbrella kit comes in two styles with either permanent markers or glitter paint pots and a paintbrush so your little ones can color their very own child-sized umbrella! (While you're at it, check out their cool Wellies.)

Want to talk about beer the way your snobby wine friends talk about their melot? Then try this kit of the 13 most commonly used hop varieties. There is also a kit for European hop varieties and a mini kit for those that want to start on a smaller scale. (Wimp!) While you're at it, get a 'Beer Snob' t-shirt and show them how you really feel!

And if you're really lucky, then some doay you can land the job of Chief Beer Officer at a large hotel chain like Scott Kerkmans did. Congrats, Scott!
