Bridgeview Beer & Wine Supply

My husband and I spent a decent amount of time in here recently and had a great experience! We were amazed at all the different bottled beers and general selection in the store. The owner was extremely helpful and nice. He went above and beyond with all of his help in getting us all of the legging equipment we needed. Some places can make you feel uncomfortable asking questions, but not this place! We will definitely be back.

The selection of bottled beers is extensive… However, they need to relabel the shelves with the proper regions… The prices are decent, too.
The owner was there on a «closed» day and he offered to stay until we got there — which I thought was pretty awesome.
It was hard for me to stand the moldy smell inside the store — I have a sensitive AND very keen sense of smell… But we weren’t there that long and it was manageable. The store is crammed pack with stuff so it’s kind of hard to take it all in — I think if would be incredibly hard if you weren’t sure of what you wanted or knew what & where to look for it.
Over-​all, I would recommend this store and I appreciate the friendliness of the owner!

The shop was cluttered and unorganized, prices were higher than the other places I shop at, and weighing/​milling my own grains was an unpleasant experience with a tiny hand-​cranked mill and an inaccurate postal scale (we couldn’t figure out how to read the «accurate» scale and the owner was busy with other customers). I went here out of convenience because I was running an errand near by, but won’t be back. The owner was very nice, but with so many fantastic brew stores in Portland it takes a lot more than having a good person behind the counter.
I hate to leave negative reviews, but I LOVE going to homebrew supply stores and quite simply I had a bad experience with this shop.

Great prices. Great selection of products. An amazing amount of knowledge from (I can’t recall his name right now) the guy who always seems to be working. I would say the owner. He is extremely patient with us newbies and that couldn’t be a better feeling. It makes you more confident when you have a person willing to explain not just what to do, but why you should be doing it. I can bring in a written recipe and he will rummage around and snag every bit I need, if they are out of something or generally don’t carry it, he knows the exact substitution and the reason the recipe called for that ingredient in the first place. I have double checked a few items because I am being over-​cautious and the results online were right inline with what we were told. Now, if you are looking at equipment, he won’t try to up-​sell anything, in fact, if there is a suitable similar product for less, he will direct you that way if it is a better/​equivalent product. One last thing, if you don’t see it in the store, he will order it for you right then and there.

There’s not one bad thing about this locally-​owned and operated homebrew store!
Everyone else has already sung Larry’s praises, but I will too:
Larry is THE NICEST! He remembers my (and apparently everyone else) name after just being in there a few times.
None of the people who work there make you feel dumb for being a beginner and they love geeking out and talking about homebrewing no matter what part of the subject you touch. I can’t say enough good things about my experience there.
Larry is great. He is an encyclopedia of Beer knowledge and happy to help even if you’re a complete noob. When asking him questions, I didn’t feel like a complete idiot for asking questions, which is nice.
They have all the supplies you’ll ever need — hops (fresh and not), malts, equipment, bottles, everything! They’ll show you how to mill your malts and what you need to make your cleaning or brewing process easier or better.
Love it. This is a very rewarding hobby, made easy by Larry.

5 stars for service.
The lady who helped me was really friendly, dug around the store for a few items and gave me tips on my cranberry vodka making endeavors. She even carried the box full of jars and bottles out to my car for me since I had a toddler in tow. Lots of gift items like signs, beer teeshirts and coasters and I’m definitely stopping here first when I need any sort of specialty glass bottles. Excellent prices and even better service, the shop itself is pretty jam packed and a bit worse for the wear but it doesn’t effect the quality of service or product. Check them out

Dark n Stormy’s, Moscow Mules… these are a few of my favorite things!
No, you will not find them here, but what you will find is all the cool supplies to make the ginger beer needed! Yes I recently have a fascination for the old style drinks, and I love, love, love to make things!
One evening my sweetie suggested we make our own Ginger Beer, I was like hell yeah! We googled to find recipes, and came across a blog from a Portland bartender, Jeffrey Morgenthaler from Clyde Common, and low and behold he had a great recipe to use!
The next morning I was searching places to find my supplies… and this is what brought me in here. I am not a beer maker or wine maker, a consumer of the drinks, yes I am! I was thrilled to see there was a supply store in the OC, so off I went to buy bottles and cuvee yeast!
They have floor to ceilings racks in here, full of everything you would need! Glasses, bottles, corks, caps, flavorings, and a bunch of stuff that I had no idea what it was for! I’m guessing this is your one stop place if you are making beer or wine. They also have a whole isle dedicated to already made beer, shelved by region and country from Oregon to Ireland.
My batch of ginger beer came out so good, I’m already planning another trip back for more bottles! And who knows… maybe venture into some wine making too!

Excellent store and staff. The owner is crazy knowledgeable about beer, wine, cheese, and lots of other stuff you might like to make. His staff know a lot too. I’ve only been in a few times, but he was able to give me some extremely helpful advice and some great recipe ideas. I also brought in a bottle of something I made that went wrong, and he was able to work out the problem with me by tasting it.
Prices are good as well, and there is no push to buy the spendier stuff. Worth a drive from PDX if you haven’t been out here before.

This shop has just about everything you need for home brewing and winemaking. Has a wide selection on wine kits, hardware, and just about every grain and additive you could want.

For anyone who has a notion to make their own beer, this is the first stop you should make. They have everything you need here… books, carboys, fresh ingredients, bottles, equipment, even kits that include all the ingredients you need in perfectly portioned amounts along with instructions.
Using a kit is like making a Betty Crocker cake. It’s an easy, fun way to try it out and see if it’s something you like. It’s not going to produce the best results, but it gives you a ‘taste’ of the experience without getting too heavily invested. That being said, once you get bitten by the home-​brew bug, chances are you’ll be here often.
Now for those who want to try their hand at wine making, this is also your spot. Though I haven’t yet wandered this path I know enough about the shop to see that they offer everything you’ll need to make your own bottles of heaven, including labels, bottles, and corks.
You might have a hard time finding the place as they have stuff displayed in the windows from one corner to midway down the block. And occasionally they have been closed when their hours clearly show they should be open. My suggestion is to call ahead to be sure someone is there.
The couple that own the place are very friendly and helpful and will be glad to pass along their knowledge.
