When I first moved to Fort Wayne, I was disappointed in the home brew stores because I was spoiled…read moreby Indy stores. I went to both and looked around and it seemed like I wasn't going to get much of a selection at either. But after a conversation with both stores, I realized Brewer's art actually had pretty much everything I needed. They have a pretty large selection of grains, hops, yeast, and wine making materials. They pretty much stick to the most common of ingredients, but will special order items for you if needed. I have yet to have the need to for them to special order anything. They sell white labs yeast. No WYeast. But their selection of yeast is pretty robust. The other store only carried about 4 varieties. They also don't carry 5 star PBW, but they have a powdered alkaline wash that honestly works just as well. They also have a container refill program. when your container runs out, bring the container back in and get it refilled. I can't remember if it's slightly cheaper for the refill or not, but it cuts down on a lot of waste. They are helpful, give good advice, and will help adjust your recipe if the alpha for the hops you ordered aren't what they currently have in stock. You just need to be receptive of advice. They can get a little bogged down on the days they get deliveries or have a lot of orders, so if you're worried about how long you will have to be in the store to grab what you need, give them a call or shoot them a message on facebook. My only real issue is there is no website to go look at current inventories or a list of their ingredients. I have been told this is in the works. In the mean time, they will happily give you a print out of that months current ingredient stock. They also have a rewards card so don't forget to get that puppy stamped.

When I went in you feel a little overwhelmed but the staff make sure you know 200% what your doing. They also tell you if you have any questions to call. My first batch of beer was a bust, but I took a bottle of it in like they asked. They told me exactly what went wrong and gave me a punch card full so I could get a percentage off to try again. They are gray here

I am not a teacher, but my wife is, and this is her 'go-to' store for teacher supplies…read more She sent me here last weekend to get a few things laminated, and the people working the front are were so very nice. I had to remove several staples out of some things before running them through the machine and they couldn't find a staple remover, so the manager left and magically reappeared with one that we could use! Lots of different things in here also...all nicely arranged in 'teacher' categories. I also asked someone else where I could find stopwatches, not really thinking that they would have them, but she politely guided me to the spot where they were. Great store...thanks for the years of service to Ft. Wayne!

If you have never been there you would be surprised of all the unique things they have. Every time we go I leave with stuff in the shopping cart.

Afterwards we walked through the store and were a bit disappointed in the change that was made to the clothing section. It is no longer there! The area now showcases some of the artisans who offer classes and their work for sale. There is also a plant section incorporated into this re-designed space. Of course, we enjoyed walking through the other sections of the building and I did notice ladies accessory items strewn throughout with a few articles of clothing. While I am always open to change and am sure there must have been a reason for it, I do miss the previous set-up and unfortunately doubtful I will frequent as often. However, It does offer many unique home decor items and antiques at reasonable price points.
