Stopped in here on my way back to RI to get some supplies before a long brewing weekend with…read morefriends. Good selection of brewing supplies, but the prices are kind of high, especially the carboys. $50 for a 6 gallon carboy? Thats $10 too much. But make sure to double-check any info the owner gives you. I pointed out the bottle filler I had at home and asked for tubing that would fit it and the tubing he gave me totally didn't fit, not even close. Long story short, bottling my beers was a messy, awful affair. When I emailed him to complain he just gave me the runaround and said it was somehow my fault. A simple "oops, sorry", was all I wanted. And the "beer exchange fridge" is kind of odd. You give him two beers and only get to take one since the owner wants to drink one of yours in order to make sure it is worthy of staying in the fridge. I would rather give two different beers, then take two different beers and take my chances that at least one will be good. Overall though, a pretty good homebrew store. Good selection of grain, hops yeast and equipment. Worth checking out if you are in the area.

I attended a two hour home brewing class here and was blown away. The owner, Charlie (along with comrades Dan and Andrew) gave an incredible presentation in a relaxed atmosphere. We sipped various brews and discussed taste profiles, hops, grains - you name it! The guys were so laid back and friendly and answered all of my asanine questions. I bought a home brewing kit and can't wait to get started, even if my first batch turns out looking like the gruel they ate on the ship in The Matrix. If you are even REMOTELY interested in beer, you'd be a fool not to check out this establishment. I'm already looking forward to trying a plethora of recipes and becoming a regular customer here. Highly recommend for all your beer and wine needs!!

There's usually a sampling of good refreshments available for inspiration. It's not a brewing box store, but it has what you need (unless you are looking for multi-thousand dollar all-grain setups). Worth the journey and worth the funny hours.
