e lo said:Really? That's too bad. I was thinking of taking a drive to check it out, just to sample another almost-local HBS.

My problem with them was this...
Imagine 10 lbs. of crap.
Imagine that 10lbs. of crap, stuffed into a 5 lb. bag.
You just pictured Cap n Cork.
They were cool, but they had so much crap stuffed everywhere. There was literally zero organization and zero sense made in item placement.
You could find a hydrometer down one aisle, but a thief was 3 aisles over in the beer kit section. It was strange.
They had alot of stuff, but it was hard to find.
My personal gripe with them was the service..
One of the guys was awesome. He was super helpful and really nice.
The other guy was a dick.
But, the "cool" guy apologized and said the dick was having a bad day, which everyone is entitled to, so I blew that off.
There was a guy there while I was shopping that was a new brewer... The "dick" was helping him and just beating the guy up for asking dumb questions. Granted, some of his questions were pretty bad, but still.

I hate to see anyone bashing Cap N' Cork.
I have been to every brewstore in the greater detroit area. I go to school in Livonia, live in SCS, and work in detroit so I'm always driving all over the place. The only place that I have not been to is Adventures in Homebrewing. I'm not one to ask a ton of recipe related questions as I usually know what I am looking for, but I'm a stickler for equipment knowledge, and also being able to get what I am looking for.
Cap N' Cork, first of all, is the cleanest most organized brewshop I have ever been in. They alway have whatever kind of wierd piece of equipment I might be looking for that day, and Andy (I think that's his name, he's the short bearded younger guy that fields all of the all-grain questions) has been willing to run down whatever I'm looking for so I don't even need to look for it. Just wanted to put in my $.02.

Mustangj said:I have to agree with everything you say.
In the area you have.
1. Sherwood- over priced and the beer sucks
2. Dragonmead- I like it but i know not everyone is a fan
3. Rodchester, Royel Oak and Detroit brewery (same Owners)- All three palces have the same beer pretty much. The beer is good.
4. Motor City works brewery- I thought the beer was really good ( I just went For the first time last week) and they have a good night life.
5. Woodward brewers- The beer is ok. I have found better beer at the local beer store.
6. Copper canyon- Sucks and hard to find.
7. Kuhnhenn Brewing- Good when they have it. I was there not to long ago and they did'nt have **** maybe three beer on tap.
I think sence I started brewing my own beer I've been spoiled with such good beer that it had to judge brew pubs.
I think if the baraboo is good but if you don't mind driving a little go to Rodchester.
They have a couple pool table and they still might have a smoking room for cigars.
