Hobby Homebrew is amazing! They have a HUGE inventory of everything a person needs to brew and mash. If you arrive, there is always someone right there, walking around with you to help you find exactly what you need. I always find a bunch of things I didn't know I needed and have yet to regret any purchase. Apparently they also have an awesome online mail order business if you can't make it to their Carbondale storefront located in the prior "Little River" building on the North side of Main street/Rt 13 west. read more

My hubby decided he wanted to "craft" his own brew. and wine. We had no idea where to begin! Hobby Homebrew had all the supplies required. Equipment, hops, how to books, bought a Deny conn rhy (rye) ipa and a Woodbridge Cabernet Sauvignon with skins way below what it was selling for in Chicago! Simple website. Quick delivery. Can't wait to serve guest our own beer and wine! Thanks guys! read more

Great people... great prices and very helpful staff. They do most of their business over the internet, but if you're in the area and need some gear or last minute stuff these guys are the perfect stop. Call them first... online is 24/7 but the shop has hours. Their prices are much better in person. read more
