That would be pretty sweet actually.
I really hate finding a spot to park for the one in Philly....thought I haven't checked out the one in the Berlin Mart yet.
(FYI the one in the Columbus Mart is crap...pure crap. I asked what yeasts they had and all they had was Muttons. No Dry yeasties, no liquid yeasties, just Muttons. Very sad)
If you get more info let me know!

I was able to get in contact with the owner. Thisis what I got from him:
"The shop is 162 Haddon Ave in Haddon Twp. The grandopening is tentatively scheduled for the 18th of June."
I'm excited!
As for the berlin mart shop, my buddy knows the owner or someone who works there.
He said it pretty good but I haven't seen it yet. As for Columbus, I was only there once to buy some cleaner. All the stuff was just laying around on the floor. Looked kinda dirty to me. I won't be back there again.

I'll definitely check it out.
I use BMW for 99% of my stuff...but sometimes I decide to brew on Saturday, Friday afternoon.
Even BMW can't ship that fast
Well unless I want to sell a kidney to get it...

I'm a huge fan of BMW but if I only need yeast or any other single item, I hate paying shipping/tolls.
I buy all my hops and grain in bulk so neither of them can help me with that. But yeast, caps, sanitizer and the occasional specialty grains are my biggest needs.

I can write off the 6.99 shipping by using the 10% off recipes code and comparing it to the cost of driving to a LHBS.
After all $7 is about what 3 gallons of fuel these days?

My truck = $12.00
Wife's car = $6.75
Harley = $3.40
Unless it's a nice day and I feel like going for a ride, Brewmasters Warehouse is my choice.

I sense a new slogan. Brewmasters Warehouse is cheaper than gas.

That's pretty awesome...Westmont definitely has an up and coming scene (originally from Cinnaminson, NJ). Wish I would have thought of that!! Collingswood would actually be perfect.

I've been going to Berlin Mart. He seems to be getting more organized every time I'm in there. Well stocked shelves, pretty good selection and prices. Close to me and easy to get to.

Stopped in Brew Your Own Bottle this evening to have my first look at the store.
The store front itself was visually appealing. I walked in to one of the most organized homebrew shops i have ever seen! This place was nice! The shop was stocked with tons of stuff. The owner was very nice and gave me a mini tour of the shop.
He even offered up some advice on yeast for an upcoming brew (something an online brew shop can't do).
Aside from this place being clean, well organized and friendly... i did some price checking and its still cheaper then shopping online when you add in shipping.
Brett, Thanks for opening up in my area! You'll have my business from this point on.
Check them out... you wont be disappointed!

Thanks for the kind words Jeff. I have sad news for south Jersey Brewers Jeff from Beercrafters has passed away, like many of you he sold me my first brewing equiptment and gave great advise over the years. This Sunday between 3-6 @ Iron Hill (Maple Shade) brewery there is going to be an event remembering the life of Jeff. Phyllis from Beercrafters and another home brew club is sponsering the event. If you have the time I emplore you to go, he was a great person and full of knowledge, and helped many of us understand brewing. Please feel free to invite anyone that you know, that knew him, a large turn out would be great. I am going to sit the event out because I do not want any person to think I am promoting the store at the event. If you can not attend but wish to give your condolances write an email to me and I will forward it to Phyllis to share with his family ([email protected]). Thank you all for your time.

I stopped by this place last week and I was certainly impressed.
Great owner and very informative (and chatty
)
Lots of good stuff there and prices were VERY reasonable.
Definitely will use again.
Good Luck Brett!

I stopped in today after a few months of waiting eagerly for this shop to open - I was not disappointed. As the others mentioned, Brett is a really nice and knowledgeable guy, and his store is well-stocked, organized and clean. He offered to order anything I needed, and he seems to have enough in stock (with more arriving - he had a shipment waiting to be stocked today) to brew almost anything. I'm looking forward to having a LHBS once again! Thanks for opening Brett! :rockin:

Hey Brett, Glad to hear another shop opened in SJ. I'll try to stop up in the next week or so. I just got back on here after a little hiatus.
On another note, I am saddened to read that Jeff had passed. He got me started too and always answered my foolish newcomer questions like it was the first time he was ever asked. And was never always willing to let you sample what he had out back. He was a good man.
Good Luck.

Just got back from the new shop.
This is what a HB shop should be. The owner is a brewer himself and he knows what he's doing.
Anyway, he had everything that I needed - and more.
I'll be using this place from now on.

just bought a kit from the store in westmont, loved it. the owner seems really down to earth. they have got a good amount of inventory (the only kits they sell though are brewers best). the owner says hes been doing really well, better then he anticipated with little to no advertising.

That's great to hear - hard to start a new business in this economy. I know from experience. I will definitely support Brett and I encourage others in the area to do so too. It's easy to order supplies online, but it's a good thing to support a local business, especially one near and dear to our hearts. And besides, nothing compares to being able to fondle the goods.... muwahahaha!

I've been primarily making cider, but now since there's a HB shop right down the street, I think I'll try my hand at beer.
Looking forward to stopping in.

I've been to the store twice now and love that there is a place so close to my house. I used to buy extract online and shop locally for yeast and hops. Now, I'm buying everything from Brett. That's the least I can do for getting to sample his latest beer creation in the back.

After not knowing for 6 months that this place existed only a couple miles down the road from my house, I stopped in yesterday to check it out. I was not dissapointed. Like many others have said, the organization is amazing. It is very easy to find just about anything you want/need. In addition most of the prices are as low as what I have been paying online. It may be time to stop buying online and take a trip up the road to BYOB. The owner Brett was a friendly guy, who was willing to help you out.
