Whidbey Island Homebrew Supply

Nicest lady running the place. Husband wanting to start brewing and she took time to explain what he needed and how he could startup without breaking the bank on equipment. Sent him on his way with a book to read before dropping a bundle. Many thanks to her for that btw! :-)
Super cool store. MANY gadgets to choose from, lots of hops and oats (?) and beer stuff. Not just one or two varieties. This is a serious place if you’re into brewing. They have all kinds of equipment from small to large, beginner to expert. And flavors. Holy. I wanted to start tasting just reading their boards!
Def go in and buy something. And if you don’t know what it is, they will educate you!

I really like these guys. They are what I expect from my LHBS (Local HomeBrew Store), unlike my experience with Jim’s Homebrew in Spokane.
My first time going in I just looked around and they were really friendly.
My second time I showed up with no recipe 20 minutes before closing and said I wanted to make something really bitter and hoppy but was tired of IPAs. We banged out a recipe for a Cascadian Dark right there, even encompassing the hops I already had at home. The beer came out fantastic.
The third time they moved from downtown to their new location by the base. They were busier out there, but still really nice. I brought in my CO2 bottle to exchange. They didn’t have that size, but they upgraded my bottle for cheap.
I have been more pleased with this homebrew shop than any of the other 5 I have used, especially when you consider the size of Oak Harbor and their acceptable prices (plus a loyalty program).
My only recommendation, if they read this is to spend the $$ and become a bottle shop too.
