All Granite Cask ingredient kits are handmade on premise and based on original recipes.  Many of them are award-winners and all of them are time tested and brewer approved.  We only use the freshest ingredients.  Our kits go directly from raw ingredients to your home brewery. We view beer and brewing ingredients as perishable items, which is what sets our kits apart from the rest.  A cross-section of kits will be found on our shelves in order to assure freshness, but any of the following kits can be made for you upon request. Kits rotate constantly. If you want to brew a style of beer that you don't see on our shelf or have a commercial favorite, just ask - custom kits are always available.  All kits are available in extract and all grain to suit the needs of every brewer.
