I had a great LHBS that went out of business about 6 years ago. There is another LHBS about the same distance away in the opposite direction but it sucks... hard. I went there once when I needed some yeast that day. The prices were atrocious and it was definitely geared up as an extract kit shop with limited supply of everything else. I didn't feel bad at all about buying online during that time. As of a few years ago, a new LHBS opened up not too far from the first. It made me realize how much I missed having a decent local shop. That being said, I don't buy everything there. But it's great to have a good shop nearby.
