Homebrewstuff

Alright, now that I re-​posted the old review, I can update it.
This place rocks, whether you’re here to buy beer ingredients or not. I’m going to start with the best part: beer you can drink.
Like Brewer’s Haven, they have a tap room /​section of the establishment. However, it’s much more wide open than BH, they have multiple tall tables with chairs, as well as a bar to sit at and sample different brews. My favorite part is that most of their brews are not only local, but (most of the time) the BEST local stuff you can get. Not just Payette or Haff or County Line because they are new or established, but stuff like Bear Island, which is little known and kicks some serious ass (they are getting bigger and more established). These guys (the owner and every employee I’ve met) have great taste in beer, even when it’s not my preferred style. Let’s not forget that they have a rockin’ bottle shop that easily compares to BH, Brewphoria (when they existed), and Bier: Thirty.
The employees are stupid friendly and also have great taste in music. One day, after the death of a member of YES (the bassist?), an employee was rocking all YES tunes over the PA. Another day, just because he felt like it, an employee was doing all Celtic folk and rock. It seriously kicked ass. They make great conversation and jokes, and put up with my need to taste four beers before I commit to one.
Finally, this is my number one, go-​to store for actual brewing supplies. They have the giant kegs of LME, which means they won’t run out of the tiny tubs. They allow you to bring in your old plastic containers, so you aren’t charged for a LME container. They have the best selection of yeast, specialty malts, and peripheral ingredients (think bitter and sweet orange peel, coriander, cocoa nibs, candied ginger, etc.) I’ve encountered in the state.
In short, whether you’re there for business, pleasure, or (hopefully) a good bit of both, Homebrewstuff is your jam, homes.
