Actually it looks interesting. Check out the Google cache of one of the pages:

A bunch of the links on this page work. Lots of cool stuff like 4 kegs for $75! I hope this store is for real.

I just get the same blank page with scrollbars in firefox but it comes up in IE. I don't think I could order from a such a terrible site myself. Their prices on kegs are pretty bad, $75 for a ball lock keg?!

Yes, I get the same thing. Works under IE but not FireFox.
FireFox users should try their storefront (which is different from their home page -- but I don't understand why). Here it is:
Homebrew Supplies
And yes, some prices are high, some seem very reasonable. But that sounds like pretty much any online Canadian LHBS I have ever encountered!

Is it just me or do they not appear to sell hops?

Yeah, even worse than their spelling. Not very professional at all. I suspect it's someone selling from their house. Not that there's anything wrong with that, I've often toyed with the idea myself, but if you can't draw up a web site that actually works and isn't full of spelling and diction errors, it's often a sign that the whole operation is a little sloppy.

Had to laugh at the "Are mission ......."
The idea is great.....but 2.99 a pound for crystal? Ouch.

I agree. Whatever ecommerce package they chose is pretty bad too in terms of interface structure. When something like osCommerce is available it makes creating a professional looking site easy enough that there really is no excuse.
