To further what the Mrs said:

Brewing from kits is pretty simple: just follow the directions provided in the kit, and you'll be good to go. The thing is, most of those kits are pretty pedestrian.

If you really think you're going to get into it, a good Local Homebrew Shop is a must. Brewing is as much an art as it is a science. Someone who can explain the difference between Belgian biscuit malt and Belgian Special B malt, and how it will affect the final taste of the beer in question, will be absolutely NECESSARY to understand craft brewing and brewing from your own recipes.

Once you find a good LHS, and have the science of brewing down through doing a couple kits, turn your imagination loose and see where it takes you.
