The Wine and Hop Shop is your go to westside home brew store. Well to be honest, its your only option on the west side, so I'm glad its a great shop! They have a variety of kits for beginner brewers. The kits are actually put together at the shop so you are not getting a "mass produced" home brew kit. The kits have high quality and the staff can speak to them. The staff is also very passionate about brewing, they helped us make a DELICIOUS Blueberry Porter. We took their advice and and it turned out great!
