Pantano's in New Paltz

[AB-Brew]

Just visited over the weekend. Jerry the owner was very friendly and helpful. Sounds like he is really trying to keep a good thing going and grow a quality business. No website yet.

You drove all the way to New Paltz from Pennsylvania? You don't have anything closer? That stinks if so. I've been pretty pleased with Pantano's as well. He has a lot more knowledge about wine and winemaking but he is really starting to expand his homebrewing stuff and is very open to suggestion. I buy my bulk grain from him; he gives decent prices on the big bags. I also requested a bag of Vienna and within a week he had it for me.

We aren't that far, just over an hour. Actually there is a new shop in NJ that opened up this summer that is about 45 mins away. And the only shop in Pa I know of is an hour and 45mins away.

so then I'm guessing you get most of your stuff online then?

 

[AB-Brew]

Yeah, but it is so nice to go somewhere and actually see, touch stuff and talk to people. It's a weird hobby, you know somebody who knows somebody who brews, but none of our immediate friends do...yet.
Cool that you're a nurse too!

Yeah I hear ya! Crazy profession to be in isn't it? Never get bored.

A place just opened up in Warwick. I havent been yet. Mistucky Creek i think its called. They have a facebook page.

I checked out cask and kettle in Boonton nj last weekend, another new shop, but still a hike. Very noce shop, good selection and prices.
