I order mostly online, and get a few things in Spread Eagle, WI when she has what I can use. The is accommodating, and helpful and tries to stock what people need. It's not a huge store, though, so I can't always get grain from her. I order from Austinhomebrew.com the most, because they have flat rate $6.99 shipping.
I found White's totally useless, and after he treated me poorly when I was in there, I won't be back. He has the yeast and hops sitting out, and when I asked him how long they've been unrefrigerated, he snapped at me and said, "I've sold them like that for 15 years. I don't need you to tell me how to sell beer making supplies". Well, since he only sells ancient malt extract and unrefrigerated stuff, I thought he was right. He obviously knows more than I do about good beer making ingredients. I did buy some wine making stuff from him, and a few other items, but never again. I haven't even set foot in there in a year or more.
I also buy supplies in Appleton, since I do get down that way occasionally. I'm also thinking that when I get to Milwaukee, that I'll check out SuperiorBrew's new LHBS in Slinger, WI. He has alot of stuff, and he's online here often, so I think that will be a good stop for me!
