I don't have a brewing kit. I fulfilled a long term goal of learning to make wine this past year and I therefore already had most of the required equipment for beer making so I just picked up whatever else I needed and got started.
The first beer recipe kit I used was Munton's Highland Heavy Ale. This is basically a "just-add-water" type of kit. Couldn't be much easier...
Since ur in TX you may want to check this place out... Never used them but they have a good reputation on the forums I've read...

Something like this would be a good start...

The only tricky thing about this is learning about sanitizing your equipment. If you can do that you'll likely have no problems.

What irritates me is!
Those 6-packs work pretty good.

I enjoy nearly any kind of beer from Busch Light all the way to Dogfish Head. Lately I've begun making some homebrew kits and have skipped right over the typical beginner's experimentation with bottling by getting right into kegging. Very happy with some early results. Got a heavy ale on tap now. Soon to be followed by an American style light lager. A couple different wheat beer recipes ready to go after that...
I decided I like drinking it more than making it, though.

I like Busch ,the Canadian stuff made by Labatts under licenses from Anheuser-Busch , I tried Bush made by Anheuser-Busch in the States but it does not taste close to the same for some reason.

you guys drinking the keystone have to be buying it because it's cheap, right? 
'cause that has to be the worst beer I've ever had in my life- it was the "goto" beer in high school because it was so cheap. (unless it's changed over the past 20 years)

We'd have a Bohemian breakfast, worst beer I've ever tasted.
Now all I drink is Root Beer
