Homebrew supply

[rpgove]

For you homebrewers out there, where do you pick up supplies in Maryland?

I normally go to Maryland Homebrew in Columbia, MD. I think it's the closest to me, and they seem to have a good selection of equipment and ingredients--both for beer and wine--plus they've always been pretty friendly.
Maryland HomeBrew warehouse and online store for home brew and wine making, brew your own supplies. Kegging, corks, recipes, ingredient kits.

I think I've heard of some other shops that might be closer, but they don't have websites so I can't get a feel for their selection, so I just keep going back to Maryland Homebrew.

The only other homebrew shop i know of is Annapolis Homebrew.

It's off of Ritchie Highway just north of the city. I do like it, I think their prices are fair and they are in the process of expanding right now. Apparently their getting a walk in fridge for yeast and hops.

I go to the flying barrel in Frederick. Its in historic downtown. The prices and stock are good.

They have "brew on-site", as there are 6 30 gallon natural gas kettles and instructors for the newbies.

It's worth the trip for the non-locals (especially this time of year) as there is a lot going on downtown and there will alway be people brewing on-site.

The Thirsty Brewer in northern Baltimore County (Baldwin, right at the south end of MD 165) is a great place to go. The owner, Tom, is very knowledgable, friendly and very nice to deal with.

Do Thirsty Brewer and Flying Barrel have websites? I've looked before (that was awhile ago though).

I've been to Maryland Home Brew in Columbia. Not the cheapest place though, but nice if you need to pick up some odds and ends.

+1 for the Flying Barrel in Frederick. I love that place. The owner is a great guy and is always willing to help and share a brew.

unless you need it that day the cheapest way in SOMD is brewmasterswarehouse

Good prices and the flat rate shipping is less than gas to drive to any nearby shop

i'm a frequent patron of both the barrel and MDHB. they both have their faults and advantages. but, both chris and bob are great folks.
