I rarely give someone five stars, and when I do, I have already asked myself if they could have…read moredone anything differently or better. Really, the answer is no. They couldn't have done it any better. I'm a long-time Listermann fan, and they hold the bar as far as I'm concerned. Until I stumbled across HBYOB. Literally. A guy my wife works with told her about it, and I put it on the bucket list, but we were walking past a strip mall and I glanced in to see a row of neatly stacked carboys. Best unintentional find ever! Walked in, the fella at the counter acknowledged us, and asked if we needed anything. When we politely declined, he went back to his reading and left us alone - something I truly appreciate. I looked up a few of my favorite recipes and he had everything I ever needed to make any of my ales - even a few tough to get ahold of NZ hops. The process is a little different than Listermann - you tell them how much of what grains you want and they pull and grind for you. Right in front of you, but the grinder faces away from the customer, so no more getting your hands dirty. HBYOB also has fresh kits with some of the more popular recipes, priced around $20, which is about right. They have bottles, tubing, grains, hops, pretty much everything I ever needed/wanted to make beer. I'm definitely a fan, and I'm recommending it to all my friends. Don't get me wrong, I still love my Listermann's, but HBYOB is much closer, and a little easier on the wallet. No restaurant or taproom at HBYOB, but I was only looking for the stuff to make my own.

We had the place to ourselves. We have not been there before and we wanted to try it out. We drank the Stay Golden. I like my beer cold and this was not. It was not room temperature, but it was just not cold. The flavor was good with a very heavy orange taste. The service was quick since we were the only ones there. There was a food truck out front if you wanted something to eat. I am not sure I will be back. There are much better places to go. I might go back if I was going with a large group of people who wanted to sit outside.

They host trivia nights, private parties, and have awesome merch if you are into that. Always a new fun drink on the menu and their classics. The food is classic bar food + BBQ and it's pretty good for not being their main gig. Duck pin bowling can have about 45-60 wait if you get there at peak time on a weekend night, but if you put your name in as soon as you get in it times out well with having a drink, eating, and catching up some!
