I highly recommend Sierra Moonshine Homebrew & Winemaking. After doing a search for similar…read morestores, I think they are the only home brewers store in the Sacramento region. John, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Although I live in El Dorado Hills and the store is about 40 mins away, it was worth the drive. Great product selection, pricing and help with any questions. Taking John's suggestions and guidance, I think I made one of the best batches of beer to date.

Great experience at Sierra Moonshine. They are the last home brewers store in the greater…read moreSacramento area. I called up there and they had everything I needed for my beer recipe. It's an hour drive for me, but they will ship also. Prices were very reasonable, in fact, ordering on line, I would have had to order more specialty grains than needed and would have cost me much more. Also, the big on line company was out of stock on the base malt I wanted, plus over a week to ship anything in stock. John was great to talk to and I would definitely recommend them for your home brewing supplies. They also have wine and cider supplies.

The lady was very friendly and made sure the cylinder was filled completely. They have made me a customer for life. I always try to shop local and keep the money away from the big corporations. She makes this easy! I will be foraying into homebrewing soon and will buy all my supplies here. Thanks for the great service!

I've been looking for spots to buy gunpla and I have grown to adore this shop. The owner is super…read morepersonable and friendly and absolutely does what she can to get the kit you want. She knows the stuff! They also carry gunpla bases. They don't have many kits at the moment, though. They also carry many other model kits, such as planes, ships, and cars. I also had a bunch of board games! The store is small, but it is packed with a lot of stuff! If you have patience and want to support this business, this is the spot!

I have been going to Viking Hobby Store for over thirty years.

If you have never been to a small novelty Hobby store, this is the one you need to visit and experience. I highly recommend this place.

Seems to be a deadbeat company - did not ship or even respond to multiple queries…read more Placed order on chicompany.com web site after company responded to my eBay question about combined shipping by asking me to skip eBay and buy direct. Note that this is an apparent eBay agreement violation. So I ordered direct choosing Priority Mail shipping. 15 days later nothing was received. CHI Company never responded to my voicemails, web messages, phone calls and at least 7 attempts to contact. I got my money refunded - apparently by PayPal - after complaining to PayPal. Seller hasn't responded to PayPal either.

Even has a few taps to taste some great craft beer or some coolers to grab some beer to-go. Give this place a shot if you're looking for a great beer supply store in the quad counties!
