This is a really good brewing supply store.

They have three stations on premise where you can rent and brew, and they've recently added a tap area where you can try beers that the owner Terry has brewed.

I believe they are (or were) trying to open an actual tap room in their expanded area, my guess is they are waiting for permits, so you can drink for free right now (do tip though, there's a tip jar) in the meantime as a customer, and the beers are quite good. Some interesting styles and variations are going on and new stuff is rotated in as soon as old stuff is tapped out.

As far as grains, hops, yeast, equipment, etc. they are as well stocked as any beer supply store I've been to (out of a dozen in two major cities). Prices are reasonable, there's a discount card as well.

The owner Terry knows his stuff, so don't hesitate to ask him any questions. I saw some google reviews that didn't like the owner (though many really did), I think it's just a style thing though. Expect a correct and to the point answer from the owner.

I use the internet for some equipment and specialty ingredients at times, but I'll definitely make the 15 minute drive for most ingredients, it's worth a sip of tasty beer and supporting a local establishment so that it is there when I need it.
