Great facility with a wide assortment of growing and brewing supplies! I had stopped in a few times to browse and ask questions: every staff member I encountered was very helpful with a no-pressure attitude. I signed up for a beginning Brewers class which was $ 20 for 2.5 hours of actual extract brewing. The instructor — Nate — was informative, helpful, educational, and a lot of fun… and after the class they provide a discount on brewing supplies which makes it even more worthwhile! If you are considering home brewing I would highly recommend signing up for one of the classes which run every other week. Stop in and browse… you’ll get hooked!

I attended a beginners home brew class on 12⁄17. The instructor was very thorough and the class was enjoyable. The entire staff at the store really know their stuff and are extremely helpful for both beginners and advanced fans of home brewing. Highly recommend that everyone visit this store.

I was in last week. The staff was really helpful. There is plenty of inventory. I was able to pick up all of my grain and hops for this weekend’s brew. I was also able to grab all of the last minute things that I always forget. The pricing is a little high, but I’m sure they know that they don’t have a ton of competition other than online. Great place. Go.
