Just stopped by on Saturday. It is open, he is moving down the road to another building shortly. I live in Lancaster and am in York 2-3 times a week. I have shopped at both Mr. Steves and Lancaster Homebrew and prefer LHB. We'll see what the new owners do. I did like the fact they had Wyeast brand yeast at Mr. Steves.

Okay. Thanks for the info. I hope they offer classes still and similar ingredient kits. I'd like to get my home brewing up and running again

Most Saturdays Lancaster homebrew has classes. The guys there are really nice, very knowledgeable and helpful.
They even have a nice how-to page on their website.

Awesome. Thanks for the info.

I don't know why I would go the Lancaster. Just going off of the information presented to me. Would much rather stay local. Thanks for the "correct" information. For the classes, is there a sign up or reservation that I need to fulfill? Thank you!

I dropped in to Mr. Steve's last week when I was passing through on business and had a few hours to kill (I know, I should be in a 12-step program...). The shop was nice, clean, and spacious; well stocked with a good variety of ingredients. I spent a few minutes talking with the person at the store, who was very friendly. If I lived in the area, I would certainly be shopping there frequently.

I lived in York when I first started brewing (15+ years ago, back when he had a tiny store in Manchester) and gained a lot of knowledge from Mr. Steve. He was always willing to look at a recipe and answer questions. I still stop by the new store on occasion when I'm in town visiting the folks and need ingredients for a batch; very nice shop and good selection.

Moved this from "sampling and critiquing" forum (which is for sampling and critiquing beers) to the 'company reviews' forum. There wasn't a thread on Mr. Steve's there, so this is the first.
