Beer is easy, and is almost impossible to fuck up. (Except for bottling too soon and having your bottles explode in messy and dangerous fashion, so don't do that.)
In my experience, about half the batches are excellent and the other half are like "Ok, that's drinkable, but it's obviously homebrew, let's do better next time."
If you like beers with color and flavor, you can make stuff at home that's damn fine, for half the cost or less than buying it. If you drink clear yellow piss beer, you can make that too but it won't be much cheaper than the cans you are drinking now.
I've gotten out of making beer because I've slowed down on drinking the stuff -- it's got a lot of sugar in it and sugar fucks me up. However I still make a bit of dry mead (honey wine) because it's damn good and you just can't hardly buy it anywhere.
