I live about 20 minutes from 2 local shops. One I buy all of my ingredients from as well as anything else I might need as I'm putting a batch together. The other has lower prices on hardware, so I've bought most of my kettles, fermenters, and kegging equipment from them. I've taken a few classes with them too.
Now, the first store just opened it's own onsite microbrewery and taproom, so I'll probably start spending a lot more time there.
