This would add significantly to the cost. They would have to provide more training, or hire real brewers. It would take said brewers a lot more time to do each brew. The overhead costs would be higher because of the range of grain they would have to keep in stock. Not all of it would probably get used (some spec grains necessary for speciality beers that may not be popular) before it had to be thrown out (you can only keep grain for so long before it starts to go stale). This is not to mention the cost of what would probably have to be a fairly high tech HERMS/RIMS system, as well as power to run it. Don't even get me started on cleaning as it can be a nightmare with these sorts of set-ups!
Basically what I am trying to say is that it would not be cost effective for them. They would have to charge you far more than the beer would be worth, and most people would be happier to just buy a slab of VB unfortunately.
