Ehhhhh. This store is good, but not great. He has hops, malt and equipment (probably what you'll need) but you may outgrow it. The owner is nice and polite, but not everything is up to snuff. He controls the malt mill which is nice. It produces a good crush without fiddling. His hops however, are stored in ziploc bags. They should be at least vacuum packed, not to mention in nitrogen filled packs. It leaves the, actually extensive, selection a bit dull on aroma and flavor. This kind of stinks. His malt selection, unlike the hops, is not extensive. The prices are also a bit high. I am comparing this all to Hop To It in Boulder. Hop To It has its own issues (see my other review) but I definitely prefer it. If it were not for the occasional lack of hops, a 30 min ride to go to Hop To It over the Bald Brewer would be absolutely worth it. Give each a shot. See what you think. read more

Oh yeah. The Bald Brewer is my go to brewing supply store and I go out of my way, 10 miles, or whenever I am in town, to stock up on brewing supplies from The Bald Brewer. Whatever craft brew I decide to brew they have the ingredients. Sour Beer it is this weekend. CHEERS. read more

A locally owned and locally ran homebrew supplies store. The owner actually greets you and talks to you compared to some other stores in the area. His selection of grain and hops can make practically any beer you can think of. He also has a very good selection of wine kits, bottles and corks and even rents corkers. The customer service is what makes this shop stand out from the others plus they also have a website where you can order supplies and have them shipped or ready to pickup, heck I even heard the owner will deliver your order if you live in Longmont. read more

Drove all the way up there at 5 pm on a weekday. It's New Years Eve, but their website said they were open til 6. I also called and their voicemail said they were open til 6. And when I arrived, we'll, they're closed. Waste of an hour. And a chunk of gas. Fun. I know it's a small shop and things happen. But at the very least, please post the proper hours on your own site or voicemail so I can give you my business. read more

This is a nice shop located close to me which is very convenient. The owner, Mark, is a cool guy. He's always friendly and talkative. I only visit a few times a year because I usually only buy yeast from here as I buy the other ingredients in bulk. But each time I've been in I've got fresh healthy yeast. He has a nice selection of grains and hops as well as equipment. Never had a bad experience here. I'd recommend this store. read more

I visit Bald Brewer frequently. Every time that I enter the store the owner Mark is friendly, and knows me by name, He has helped me make innumerable brews, and always has good advice. It may be cheaper to shop online, but it is worth it to have someone that is so helpful. Will always be a loyal customer. read more

This place is superb. It is a well stocked little store with fantastic prices, but best of all the owner is super knowledgable and friendly, and is always willing to give advice. He doesn't push you into buying the most expensive stuff, and is generally just a great guy. I am a beginning brewer, and he has helped me get confident and started with everything. I am lucky he is my local shop! read more
