    Looking forward to some Patriot's Pride!

    I love how easy Mr. Beer makes the process! I started brewing my own beer last year and just made my ninth batch with their products. I've enjoyed trying different styles and sharing them with friends - haven't had a bad one yet!

    Personal Favorite

    I have brewed A LOT of Mr. Beer recipes and I can honestly say this one might be my favorite. It tastes very similar to Sam's but better IMO. I added an extra bag of booster to bring up the ABV because I wanted more than a 4.2. I don't often repeat a recipe because I like to constantly try new Mr Beer recipes but I will come back to this one time and time again.
