So what we have here is a pub selling HB kits :)

Whatever Next:  ::)

Homebrewer buying a pub!

Exploring this idea a bit:

Nice Pub, great Craft beer and food: taken as granted!

The owner brewer wants to convert to a brew pub model to supply his pub with a few of his own brews.

He installs the kit and starts brewing.

He also has a Speidel 20L and/or 50L braumeister system he uses for recipe research. He allows other HBers to use this set up for a consideration.

While the BM does its thing the HBer is sitting in the pub with mein-host drinking a few commercial HBs and having lunch. He takes away his Corny or two of chilled wort (somehow, as because of the above) he ain't driving.

Great idea for an impulse buy in a pub. Could even have a few kit cans on display. Great last minute presents when your on your way out of the pub at closing time and all the shops are closed and you were supposed to be doing your Christmas shopping.

Without knowing the exact ingredients its hard to say but these appear really expensive ? I take it that these are all one gallon batches? if so and working off the picture above does 55 euro not seem excessively steep? Brilliant idea i just think the price margin is a bit steep is all, unless there is like 4-5 tins of extract i am not seeing in that picture above?   ???

No idea what's included, I saw on twitter and felt it was worth mentioning on the main homebrewer resource in Ireland.
