As with most hobbies, brewing beer at home can be as easy or as complicated as you make it. You could buy a Mr. Beer or a Cooper's brew kit and have finished beer in a bout two weeks with little to no learning curve. Both the kits mentioned make it as easy as following a recipe. However, you could get more involved in the production of your beer buy buying a homebrew kit from your local brew store or from an online merchant that will give you greater control over the final outcome of the beer. The process is explained in detail at http://www.makebeerathome.info or on a number of other websites and forums.

Draught beer's environmental impact can be 68% lower than bottled beer due to packaging differences.[134][135] Home brewing can reduce the environmental impact of beer via less packaging and transportation.[136] A life cycle study of one beer brand shows that the CO2 emissions from a 6-pack of micro-brew beer is about 3 kilograms (6.6 pounds) -- including grain production, brewing, bottling, distribution and waste management.[137] The loss of natural habitat potential from the 6-pack of micro-brew beer is estimated to be 2.5 square meters (26 square feet).[138] Downstream emissions from distribution, retail, storage and disposal of waste can be over 45% of a bottled micro-brew beer's CO2 emissions.[137] The use of a refillable jug, reusable bottle or other reusable containers to transport draught beer from a store or a bar (where legal) can reduce the environmental impact of beer consumption (as opposed to buying pre-bottled beer).[139] The above was taken from the Wikipedia.org article on beer.
