This is my base store for purchasing home brewing goods. The store is oddly shaped probably due to the age of the building and another renter but they make do by keeping the store neat and bright.
The store has some odd hours based on the fact that it isn't the main focus or the main job for the owners. But they are dedicated to home brewing and wine making. Their selection is good and if you can't find something they will do a special order. Heck, they have called me to let me know something is in that I was looking for. They even have an area to pre-order and they will have it waiting for you. Now that is service. The staff is knowledgeable and eager to help.
Prices are about average for a brick and mortar store but not as cheap as online. Of course there is overhead. I will go to a brick and mortar any day over online: conversation, knowledge, etc.
Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area. Enjoy!
