Mr. Beer is a great way to get started with making your own beer. Their basic kit comes with everything you need to make a batch of beer, except for water and sugar. The beer mix in the Mr. Beer kit is in extract form, which means with the kit you will have a can of a syrup-like substance which is the bulk of what makes up the beer, already condensed to save you time in the process of beer making.
The Mr. Beer kit comes with an instruction booklet that contains several recipies you can try. The book is easy to follow and the instructions are simple to understand. There is even a section of the booklet that gives a brief overview of the history of beer making, as well as the origin of the microbrewery business in America.
You can buy additional ingredients like beer mixes, fruit, hops, yeast as well as replacement parts for your brewing equipment from their website.
The Mr. Beer website also features a recipies section that is updated regularly with new recipies from homebrewers and from the Mr. Beer folks as well.
I really like the Mr. Beer kit because it is really easy to make good quality beer and they have a lot of options of beer mixes. Combine this with the variety of additional ingredients and recipies available through their website and you'll go a long way before running out of ideas for beer to make!
