Man, what a great place this is. It's been literally in my backyard for years and I had no idea…read morewhat heavenly goods were at my disposable! I attended a two hour home brewing class here and was blown away. The owner, Charlie (along with comrades Dan and Andrew) gave an incredible presentation in a relaxed atmosphere. We sipped various brews and discussed taste profiles, hops, grains - you name it! The guys were so laid back and friendly and answered all of my asanine questions. I bought a home brewing kit and can't wait to get started, even if my first batch turns out looking like the gruel they ate on the ship in The Matrix. If you are even REMOTELY interested in beer, you'd be a fool not to check out this establishment. I'm already looking forward to trying a plethora of recipes and becoming a regular customer here. Highly recommend for all your beer and wine needs!!

It's a teeny space but they seem to have pretty much everything you might need and, also, the guys in there are super knowledgable about the makign of beer and of wine AAAAAND... they usually have something on draft to sample. All the ingredients from my first ever batch of beer came from here once upon a time. Highly recommended.

Then, you'll see the sign, and know to keep going. Once you are inside, you'll meet Steve, as well as any other regulars or customers who might be there. Everything you need to brew is here. There's usually a sampling of good refreshments available for inspiration. It's not a brewing box store, but it has what you need (unless you are looking for multi-thousand dollar all-grain setups). Worth the journey and worth the funny hours.

They have a large selection of hops, grains, brewing supplies, and yeasts. The prices are fair and the owner will get whatever is needed for local brewers. Karps in Northport is pretty cheap and they are very friendly but brewing is an afterthought there as it is primarily a hardware store. Sometimes they do not have people on staff that know about the brew section. Also it is a bit disorganized and small. Arbor Wine has a very nicely laid out store with even distiller supplies but their prices are about 50% more which makes it prohibitively expensive. Brew and Beyond has large containers of bulk grains and a convenient electric mill to process your grains free of charge. They are in a tough location but people are known to travel long distances for home brew. Please give it a go if you are in the area because it is both good and a small business that is going to need word of mouth to survive.

This place is great. I just recently went there to get supplies for my first homebrew and the owner…read moreis super knowledgeable about brewing. Homebrew is the focus of the store so he knows it, and knows it well. He fielded nearly 100 questions from me, and explained things he was doing without me asking. Sort of passing on information in a Yoda-like fashion. The service did not stop there. He printed out recipes with the ingredient amounts and emailed me instructions. I received tips on clubs around the island for homebrewers to join and learn more. Lastly on brew day I emailed him questions, called him and he gave me every pointer he could. If you are a homebrewer, this is where you should shop for your supplies!
