I found out today that my local homebrew store has been forced to close its doors and go out of business. Bottom of the Barrel homebrew store is/was the only fully dedicated store for all things homebrew in the Lexington, KY area. Due to the lack of homebrewers in the area, I guess it just never fully funded itself. Chuck (the owner) and his son Jon really treated me like family and I learned so much from them. They built my very first automated brewery last year before I bit the bullet and designed a bigger, much more powerful brewery. I will miss going into the store every weekend to get grains, hops, and yeast to make the next best beer.
