Most of you know my brewing career began with homebrewing. Over time, many brewer's supply shops have come and gone--the Frugal Homebrewer, the Kettle Moraine Brewing Company, the Homebrewing Depot. It's sad when they disappear.
However, the new kid on the block has quickly become my favorite--Northern Brewer. Once in a while, I would order from their online catalog from their store up in St. Paul. About a year ago, they opened up a store in Milwaukee (108th and Greenfield) and I have had nothing but pleasant experiences with their products and staff.
What's more, the guys at Northern Brewer have been extremely supportive of the craft brew industry as a whole and St. Francis Brewery in particular.
If you've been toying with the idea of trying to brew your own beer, the staff will be happy to put together a nice starter package for you.
Tell them, "Scott sent me".
I was sad when Mike closed up Frugal West Allis he is a good guy, but you are 100% correct about Northern Brewer.
