You're talking bollocks.
the only thing you need to brew beer is ingredients a container that wont react to the beer, somewhere with a sort of constant controllable temperature and time. In terms of expertise anyone with access to the internet can learn more in a weekend about brewing than the medieval monks in their caves could do in their entire lives.

If it's so easy then why is all the "beer" you brew so shite?

My beer is pretty good.
Major problem with homebrewers as a whole is that they show off their beer probably 2 months before it's properly ready.

what I don't get is "kits"
seems a bit like cheating, sort of like buying an old el past fajita kit and pretending you made it all from scratch.
