How close is your "local" home brew shop?

[DaNewf]

About a ten minute walk if I don't dawdle.

100 mile round trip for me. I'm actually goin up there tomorrow to get some stuff for a buddies birthday beer, but I was going most of the way for other reasons anyway.

I usually order online. Small stuff like a couple pounds of specialty grains or a few ounces of hops can be had from the brew pub I work at as a job perk.

Mine is a few hundred yards from my back door, takes about 2 minutes to drive if the traffic is bad. Very lucky that they opened there, before that it was about 25 minute drive each way.

 

[Qhrumphf]

My closest (and the one I usually use) is about 15 minutes if traffic agrees with me. If not, then who knows. But there are 6 others (that I know of, there may be more) within about an hour (again assuming traffic is agreeable) although most of those are at about an hour away.

 

[Billy-Klubb]

the ones I know of are 45 minutes, 1 hour, and 2 1/2 hours away.

My wife just started working at my LHBS so everything I need is just a text away. : )

 

[MaxStout]

There's a great little brew shop about 4 miles from my house. If I can't find what I need there, Midwest and Northern are both about 25 miles away.

 

[govner1]

6 miles, 10-15 minutes

I'm not talking to you anymore.

 

[cjgenever]

Wtf does it matter? Whatever is most cost effective.

 

[RiverBirchBrew]

I'm not talking to you anymore.

The worst part is she's making me brew tomorrow so she can pay more attention to the process. Oh the torture...

 

[MikePote]

3 blocks. I walk there if ive been drinking. And its the Mac Daddy of LHBS. 250 malts, probably 50+ hops, all staff is knowledgeable, and a legal nano brewery inside. I love you Chicago Brew Werks...

 

[W0GWT]

I've got one about 15 minutes away and a better one about 40 minutes away. The better one has wonky hours (closes at 6), so I hardly ever go.

 

[GrogNerd]

2 of them pretty much exactly the same time/distance away, one east, one south

both thru the suckiest traffic imaginable

 

[Much2Brew]

I love Portland! I have two within 2 miles and a third about 5 Miles away. Each has a little different variety of grains so one stop shopping isn't always the best option......

 

[Beer-lord]

The great LHBS is 13 miles away but believe it or not, there's a mini garden center owned by a homebrewer that also sells some brewing supplies. Expensive and not well stocked but closer if I need an emergency supplies.

From my house in Orange County, CA - 18 and 20 miles on SoCal freeways, so between 20 - 30 minutes and several hours. But I work up in LA county and there's one 2 miles from my office. I generally slide over there at lunch to buy supplies.

 

[CanAusBrewer]

Mine is five minutes walk away. Useful on those inebriated bring a brew nights

You poor baby... :cross:

There's a handful in my area...all about a 20-30 min. drive away, give or take.

 

[Jaybird]

About 4 min from my house..LOL

Cheers

[BlueHouseBrewhaus]

Two within 10 miles (right between home and work) and 4 more within 30 miles. Southern New England has become homebrew heaven. If one shop doesn't have it, someone else does.

 

[Hamaki]

Three I frequent, each about an hour away, different directions. There are several more between 1 & 1 1/2 hours that I haven't tried. The newest one I found is Lodi Winery Lab. Just recently found out they carry brewing supplies. I go to Lodi every week or so anyway & they had some pretty nice prices compared to the other shops. $38 for a bag of 2-row & $1.50 a lb for specialty grains.

You, Sir, are cheating!

 

[brewman551]

Mine is around 40 miles away, but close to work... Only a few miles from the school where I teach, so I usually go after work.

Half a mile from my house across the street from my office and it's my good friends shop so it's even better. Www.homebrewerspantry.com

 

[elkshadow]

I have 5 that I know of within 21 miles of my house.

 

[Beer_Eugenics]

150 miles for me. I also did a poll about two years ago.

[blaster_54738]

A close decent one? Let's see here Northern Brewer and Midwest Supplies are about an hour and a half away. My actual LHBS is about 15 miles away but it sucks! I've learned to plan well in advance because it's a lot cheaper to order online

 

[Jaybird]

You, Sir, are cheating!

I do that from time to time....
