Lion is a longtime home brewer in addition to being an overall fan of craft beers. He needed to…read morestop and pick up some supplies, and as this place was close to a spot where we met friends for lunch, we headed over. Artisan Home Brew is a business that has been here for quite some time, which says something in the era of home brew becoming popular, then fading from popularity. Lots of places sprung up during that time, then closed as demand dropped. That they have survived shows their dedication to the art of home brewing and their understanding of who their customer is and what they're looking for. This is not a fancy place, nor is it a place for people to stop and pick up a six pack. They don't sell beer, just all the ingredients and supplies, along with some supplies for wine making. They have some beginner supplies, kits and such, though this is a small part of their inventory. It's an old space with clean swept wooden floors and exposed beam ceilings, part of which have coasters from various craft breweries stapled. Shelves are unadorned, lined with various items, bins of different grains line one wall. The staff are quite knowledgable and friendly, with a club-like atmosphere where discussing the craft is as important, if not more important, then selling the product. Lion joined in on the banter, then made his purchase with a firm handshake and a thanks from both. I have a feeling this is going to become a place he visits often.

Eric has a comprehensive selection of most of the brewing things you could need immediately…read more Usually the things that I need are in stock, but yeast stock sometimes varies (as in most LHBS). You can always call ahead to check. Grain prices are competitive and much better than at Philly Homebrew Outlet, so I recommend making the trek out here if you live in West Philly like me.

With the options of lagers, IPAs, stouts, sours and Seasonals you can never run out of options to enjoy a draft at this local DE brewery that is a local favorite and curious visitor stop. Bellefonte has always been the place to welcome longtime patrons, the wary travelers and the curious couple to welcome them in with a pour, having you stay for a little bit and leaving with an impression that small quiet DE can make an impression on your beer adventures

Came in a little close to closing- I wasn't sure they were open (especially after the other brewery…read morenearby didn't let me in) but I saw the bartender wave to let me know he was still serving!

Would rate 3 1/2 stars…read more OK, got into home brewing 20 years ago and have been to many home brew supply stores. This place has just about everything you REALLY NEED to brew your own beer and make wine. Of course, there is always going to be some kind of obscure piece of equipment they don't have or some strain of yeast they don't carry or they may run out of a hops or 2. But all in all, these guys do a pretty good job of carrying the essentials and beyond. Most of the staff are very helpful with questions, and they seem knowledgeable since they all claim to brew and make wine. Some of them seem to annoyed if you ask a question. One clerk was annoyed that I showed up with a grain order. He wanted to know why I didn't email to the store so he could have had it ready when I got there. Anyway, brewing your own beer and wine making is a lot of fun. These folks have what all beginners need and 99% of what an all-grain brewer would need. Just wish the one young man was a little friendlier. Would very much recommend buying a starter kit from these people (wine or beer). Lastly, they insist on milling all the grains for you. Other home brew stores are self serve and there is no signage to state that. So not knowing, I went to mill some 2 row and got scolded. Oh well--maybe I need to just buy a grinder for my own use at home.

Customer service non existent…read more I went in here to buy a regulator because I want to use it to make seltzer. When I walked in I was greeted and informed what isle they would be in. After finding nothing the employee came over and showed me but didn't know anything about the specifications because "she's not into kegging". So I try to ask general questions but she keeps repeating herself that she doesn't know anything about the reg. She seemed annoyed that I was asking her questions about products they sell. When I bring up her attitude and ask if there is anyone around who can help she tells me to "chill out". We end it at that and I walk out. Too bad, because I was ready to spend money at a local merchant instead of online. Pros: -Great selection of bottling equipment -Good selection of grains / home brewing supplies -Good location if in Newark Cons: -Customer service / Employee attitude

Just because you can't be bothered to update your website, should not be the customers fault. If you had any idea about customer service you make the sale that you agreed to and do better on your end in the future. Consumers' take your business elsewhere to a company that will stand be hind there business and provide a fair long lasting relationship!
