Zeppelins! Brilliant!

Maybe I didn't see it posted above, but does your LHBS not have a website that you could email them? Then follow up with a phone call? My owner of my LHBS answers all the emails from his shop, and he is a really nice guy, he recognizes you every time you step in his store. I would suggest this order; email, letter, phone call, face to face. If you go face to face, bring the brick!

I wants me a zeppelin. Just so my wife and I can dress in Great War era clothing and swan about.

Wonder where I can get that much hydrogen...

Given our situation, I'm just grateful for places like Midwest and Austin.
Bloomington?
That's one hell of a beer store though.

Hi all, back from the far north woods of Wisconsin. Some really good stuff in here. I really do get down when i hear how good some of you guys out there have it. I'm still not sure if I'll actually send the letter or not, I don't know if it really worth it. I'll keep you posted.

I've never been to Beer-Wine, so I can't say anything about them.
The entire city of Cambridge is a PITA to get to!
I wouldn't waste a trip to Beer-Wine unless you are absolutely desperate. The staff is generally surly and frequently clueless.

Helium is safer. The only reason the Germans were using hydrogen in the Hindenberg is the USA had all the helium and wasn't selling.

+1 - The staff there are very friendly and are definitely passionate about brewing. They are also extremely helpful to newbie brewers like myself

If I'm ever up that way, I may stop in to check it out, but I have no need to trek all the way up there for anything.

You're right about Cambridge being a PITA to get to, and, it's a PITA to get around in once you're there.

If you're ever down south, The Witches Brew in Foxboro is a good place to go to. I've heard that there are some things they can't get, but I haven't had any problems yet.
