AB,
I haven't tried one of the wort kits - but being straight from the micro's kettle I'm sure they are excellent. If you want a greater choice, have a look around for a "brew your own" type establishment in your area - My local gives you the choice of dozens of AG brews, but beware, some places only use extract...

I've tried a few, and U have to put up with their brewing. I've been advised that they usually mash high at ESB, and that seems to make some beers a bit out-of-style.
My only issue is that I have had contaminations in some of my brews. Maybe my technique is not right for these beers.
Oops, I lied. I have another issue. I think my last one was mislabelled and I used a pils culture in my Pils, which now tastes like an Irish red fermented by a Pils yeast.
The dodgy units usually end up being purchased by me. But at least the Pils/Red isn't contam inated, just wrong...
* edit* BTW, the BOP shops (Brew-on-premises) may alow U to do an AG beer, but I hear that most are set up for extract only. Please search this site for more info, maybe. * /edit*
