They usually have everything I need to make wine. The staff is helpful and friendly
These guys are super helpful to find what you need and give input on how to achieve the best options for homebrewing. They always have what im looking for.
My go to place 👌 friendly, knowledgeable and priced right.
Came here to swap out my c02 tanks. The gentleman that helped me was friendly and helpful. He also gave me some really good tips for my kegerator.
Great place for brewing and wine making supplies.The counter guy knows his stuff
Best pizza Ive had in a long time. And really good beer!
Gotta support the local homebrew shops. They have all the basics plus kits and it looks like c02 tank swaps.FYI, they are now across the street from their old location.
First time home brewer, Owen was extremely helpful, I could tell he really enjoyed brewing, helping people and sharing his knowledge. So excited to try my first homebrew and will definitely be back for my second!
Always a pleasure coming to this location. Great staff. Great products.
First time making cider and was lost. River was super patient. He listened and answered with out talking down to me.
I dont brew personally, but I make trips for my boyfriend when he needs something. Kell there is awesome. He knows exactly what is on my list, and if theres a question he knows what I can text my boyfriend to clarify. He also has foreseen items I would have otherwise needed to come back for. He has helped me carry my purchase out to my car and made sure the bottles I bought were packed safely in the trunk of my car. Excellent customer service and I like shopping there even when its not for myself.
The have a very wide selection of yeasts for all sorts of brewing. I dont rember the name of the staff member that helped me today but he seemed very knowledgeable and was able to answer every question I had as well as providing tips on various brewing methods. (Im attempting to brew wine with non traditional fruits).The new location needs a bit of work but as I understand it they moved to the spot recently and are still in the process of getting setup. Despite the lack of flashy marketing the organization and neatness of the current setup still makes for a professional looking establishment.Regarding price it all seems reasonable, obviously if you dig long enough on the internet inevitably you can find something for cheaper than a storefront but such is the nature of business. As their prices are fair I would rather support a local business and have access to the on hand expertise of the staff than relying on a faceless shipper.
Nice shop.
The staff are amazing. Starting with bartenders to the guys in the back helping out with brewing supply. I made my first brew Erick Red and I could not have done it without the help of Brewmeiste staff.
Ive been brewing for over 40 years so Ive been in a few brew shops. These guys have always been helpful and happy to give advice when asked. Great selection for any grain bill, hops and yeasts required. Super easy to weigh and mill.
Great customer service and their brewing equipment is less than or equal to amazon prices. Great place to go if you need something immediately.
Absolutely love this place. Their website is easy to use, and has great pictures. Their staff is helpful and always in a good mood. Ive found everything I needed there. AND they opened up another store closer to my house. Theyve got another faithful customer right here!
Nice selection of Homebrew products. Very helpful staff answered all my questions.
These guys are always helpful and its a rare occasion when they dont have what Im looking for. Their prices are competitive, even compared to online prices. I buy base grain by the 50lb bag and Brewmeister is where I get it because by the time I pay the shipping online I havent saved any money. My only complaint would be I wish they stayed open later but its certainly not their fault I start my brew day later than most.
I had a great time browsing the store and bouncing ideas off the staff. Very knowledgeable and had some excellent ideas that I put to use with my home brewing setup. I found the store well stocked with the usual brewing supplies and everyone was friendly and helpful.
Dont come to Folsom without stopping by the Brewmeister. Quit drinking Natty-Light and get down here for some delicious gourmet brews. Reasonable prices, friendly staff, tasty snacks....what do you have to lose?
Great selection, service staff is very knowledgeable and helpful
So helpful! Worth the drive from Lotus. We went there to get the few items we needed to try our first batch of cider and the girl, (cant remember her name) took the time to tell us a few differences between cider and beer. I then had to call with a question that came up during the process and again, she was very helpful. So knowledgeable!
Great staff and quality ingredients and equipment.
Vary helpful and well knowledge
Now with Red Bus, this is my favorite place to grab a custom brew on a Saturday and shop for my own brew supplies. Good beer, good service, great knowledge about brewing.
I picked up a recipe kit Friday evening at the Folsom store. I think the kids name was Casey who helped me. He did a great job and answered all my questions and was able to make good suggestions on substitutes for stuff that they didnt carry. He was very knowledgeable about beer as well as the product they have in the store. He even kept the store open a few minutes past closing time to help me out
1 very nice place to get your supplies. Very well organized & very helpful. What impressed me most was their suggestions on where to get those items they didnt have in the store. Recommended both a diff. LHBS & online distributor. I will be back!
My first review, nearly a year ago read Helpful staff with a good inventory that covers most of the essentials for brewing. Since then, the main guy Kell has moved over to the brewery, and the remaining staff seems to never have a very clear idea about anything. Ive had yeast orders get mixed up, been called that something I ordered is in only to find out it isnt and the person there has no idea that I even had an order placed, called ahead to find out if they have something in stock (I live an hour away from any brew shop, and this is the closest), been told they have it, immediately drive up only to find out they didnt, they just thought they did because theres random hardware pieces on the rack... The last time I went they didnt even have a carboy in stock. And that was the one thing I thought they would never run out of. I get they cant stock everything all the time, but Im better off getting my yeast lost in the mail from an online supplier for a month (true story) than to drive up there again. Previously gave them 5 stars, but down to one until they turn it around.
Its hard to find specialty items as a homebrewer over the counter when in need, especially when you live very remotely like me. I stop by here on my way traveling through to pickup yeasts and other odds and ends. The selection is only limited to the industry homebrew standards and they are open seven days a week. No complaints here, thanks.
Omg...cant wait to take the class plus sit n drink the different kinds of beer....love the sales help very helpful....
Great place attached to a brewery! Everyone is super helpful and Ill definitely be going back!
Rude and unhelpful employees. Adjunct grains are marked up 100%+, bulk grain 20-30%, and hops are often in excess of 300% markup over online retailers. Expect to be nickle and dimed for everything including grinding grain.This used to be a great local business and Ive been a customer for years but between the recently unbearable staff and high prices I have found online alternatives are better for price and service.
Great place working on third batch now. They help out w any questions. Homebrew outlet has better prices on some items but the owner is a dick
This place is so cool. Great people, Amazing service!! Gotta check it out
Great place to pick up supplies and get information. every stop in has been helpful. im usually too reserved to spark up a conversation, most places, but the staff doesnt let you be shy...they ask questions and get the conversation started. thanks for the tip on yeast Kel!
Local homebrew store in the back of a microbrewery. Knowledgeable and helpful staff. If its related to beer, wine or anything in between they are the go to gurus.
We bought all the supplies to make beer from here. It turned out great! 🍻😋
They usually have what I need and are willing to order it if they dont have it.
Great selection of equipment, consumables. Knowledgeable staff are always happy to answer any questions and make recommendations.
They have all the ingredients you would need as a home brewer and very knowledgable and helpful staff. Even when they dont have something in stock, they are willing to work with you. When I needed some clariferm and they didnt have any in stock they were only to happy to order it for me and call me when it came in. I cannot praise these guys enough, a true asset to the homebrewing community.
Eric thanks for all your help. I got 1st place with my Belgium Blonde in the 2012 Amador County Fair. Really appreciate the personal attention all your staff has given me over the last couple of years. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME. CHARLIE
Always helpful and informative.
Love this place. Helpful and knowledgeable
The guys there are so helpful, products are freash.
Used to be a great local business with friendly and knowledgeable staff. It have gone downhill considerably with terrible customer service and monopolistic practices.This company sources most of their products through MoreFlavor Ltd, who sources grain, hops and other basic supplies through a national supplier. Basic grains, hops and general supplies direct from MoreFlavor is 30%+ less then Brewmeisters. The markup Brewmeister applies on specialty gains is well in excess of 100% and MoreBeer is located within an hour of the greater Sacramento area, where Brewmeister operates. As an example, a 50lb sack of grain costs $30 through MoreBeer, $50 through Brewmeister.You are much better off using any of the available online competition for your homebrew needs and wont have to deal with one of their rude employees.
Love Brewmeister get all my brew supplys here.
These guys are the way to go awesome deals and a knowledgeable staff, and since Eric the owner is such an awesome guy I would not expect any less, 5 stars for the Brewmeisters!!
The best place for your Home Brew needs!
