Homebrew Supply Mail Order Companies that Haven't Been Bought Up?

[NoIguanaForZ]

Is there a list somewhere of which homebrew supply companies have been bought up by BMC, etc? I'm gonna need some ingredients my LHBS doesn't stock, pretty soon, and I'd prefer to support a firm that's independent.

Just about every(all?) vendor that advertises on Homebrewtalk is independently owned. Is there a specific vendor you are thinking of?

Also, vendor ads and memberships here support the site. As well, many offer discounts and/or specials to us.

I've used Northern Brewer before, so if someone happens to know of something independent with a comparable selection it'd save me the time of digging through every possibility. :/

Adventures in homebrewing and Austin homebrew are both owned by the same owner and have great service, I would not hesitate to order from either place.

I like adventures in homebrewing and have ordered from morebeer in the past as well. Both are great.

Great Fermentations is family owned as far as I know. Excellent service, too.

Okay. Morebeer actually has a store within (sorta) driving distance so that's good information.

I like Williams, MoreBeer, AIH, and Austin Homebrew

whenever I make it to Moorhead MN I go to country cannery to support his business. bulk grain equals the same price if being shipped etc. if I need some dry yeast I will order some from a national supplier (aka Midwest/northern but I have had some crappy order to ship times from them last year )

Ritebrew.com in Wisconsin is my go-to. Their selection is more limited but if they have it, it's close to best price. Shipping is very reasonable here to our place in NE IA

If you need hops, I've used Yakima Valley Hops a few times and they're great.

I got a good deal and good service from homebrew4less recently.

Great Fermentations is family owned as far as I know. Excellent service, too.

I thought this was John Blichmann's home brew store.
