Brew Your Own Brew

I almost always go to BYOB when I need beer or winemaking supplies. All the workers there are friendly and are quick to learn your name. They will help you with a recipe and are fairly knowledgeable about beer making. Another nice aspect is that you can put together your ingredients yourself if you know what you want. They have almost anything that you could possibly want.
Another cool aspect is that they will give you a discount if you are a member of the Tucson Homebrew Club or the American Homebrewers Association.

This is the only beer shop I know in Tucson. They are always very friendly and will help you find the right ingredients for your next concoction. Gimme being has a large upfront cost for a hobby, but you will catch up in cost soon and the results are fantastic.

Super helpful/​friendly staff, helped us choose yeast and got to sample different malts (delicious!).

Without a doubt, Brew Your Own Brew has one of the best selections of grain, hops and brewing equipment in town.
Staff is very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. They recognize us every time we’re there.
This is the place for all of your home brew needs in Tucson!

I wanted a couple of bottles to bottle my limoncello and they were out of it. They ordered it for me in store and I got it in 2days. I would definitely recommend this place.

I have been a patron for, at least, 17 years. The owner, Gary, is the best! If anything is amiss, you can count on Gary to fix it personally and compensate you for any inconvenience you may have.
When I started home brewing in 1997, my goal was to make beer as good as my favorite store bought beer. At that time, my favorite commercial beer was Sam Adams Boston Lager. Well, with Gary’s help I am proud to say that I have surpassed that goal! His recipe called Ying Yang (a clone of Yuengling Lager which is not available in any store in this area) is the best beer I have ever made!
Gary has other home brewers that work in the store that are always available to help you. But if they do not have the answers, I have always found Gary to be very helpful.
He has many years of experience brewing and has a degree as a Brewmaster.
I look forward to many more happy years of home brewing thanks to BYOB and Gary

I remember how excited my dad was when this store opened. He took up home brewing years ago as a hobby after trying out one of those Mr. Beer kits with the mini plastic keg. One thing led to another — and now an entire room of his house (plus some of his garage) is dedicated to his hobby. He moved on to making wine, but not before mentoring his kids in the craft of home brewing. Me and my sibs have since taken up brewing, and Brew Your Own Brew has been a fantastic resource for our brewing and vinting needs.
Brew Your Own Brew is a great little home-​brewing store with friendly, knowledgeable staff and all the supplies you’ll need to start brewing at home. In addition to an array of brewing equipment and materials, they carry a wide variety premade beer kits — cream ales, IPAs, stouts, lagers, you name it — to appease any taste. In addition to premade kits, they have a decent selection of ingredients for customizing your kit or putting together your own recipe. The guys who run this shop are a fantastic resource for developing recipes. When we wanted to brew a Sapporo clone, the owner did some research for us and put together a custom kit.
If you’ve ever been remotely curious about home brewing, I would encourage you to give it a try. It’s not difficult, and you’d be surprised how good even the simplest of kits turns out. You won’t save any money brewing your own beer, especially once you get into the more complex brews… but it tastes so much better than anything you’d purchase at the grocery store. It’s also a lot of fun, and a couple of swing top bottles of beer with a clever label makes a great gift. Brew Your Own Brew carries supplies for making homemade root and ginger beer (sans alcohol) and for making wine (which takes more patience than beer, but is still a lot of fun). They even have some supplies for making your own cheese.
Even if you hate beer and wine and have no interest in brewing anything — stop in anyway. Brewing is part microbiology and part chemistry, and I can’t tell you how many times I have come in here to grab supplies for my kids’ science fair projects. Check them out!

Ok, so we are not sure what we are looking for and not sure where to find it. Where did we go? The most awesome place! The staff was so friendly and patient. They had a great selection of brew-​your-​own stuff (obviously), and they were able to direct us to other places for stuff they didn’t carry. We now have a go-​to place!

My boyfriend brews his own beer, and loves this place. He gets a lot of really tasty recipes from this store, and the staff are always incredibly helpful. My boyfriend asked me to pick something up once while I was out running errands, and I had zero idea what I was looking for. So the staff was very patient and helped me, and then I asked if I could just get my boyfriend on the phone for him to talk to and discuss the options, and he was so great and did that.

Tucson is lucky to have such a great homebrew shop. It also has one of the better websites for ordering supplies, only second to
BYOB has a great selection of grain, yeast, and just about anything else you may need. Also, the wine making kits are some of the better ones (despite them all being expensive). The owner (professional brewer) and his staff have always been friendly and helpful. I can’t imagine needing to go anywhere else. I’m very glad that they have weathered the recession well and seem to be growing. Keep up the good work BYOB.

Super friendly staff. Just when I think I have an issue that can’t be solved, these guys know their stuff and solve it. Lots of wonderful Beer and Wine items as well as Spirits to choose from… I sure you find what you’re looking for there…

This is a great brewing store. I tried the other homebrew store in town, but this one is miles ahead. Wish I had realized it before I spent $ 100 at the other place! This store has helpful, friendly employees who are willing to explain nuances of brewing to me, someone who is only on my 4^th batch of beer. Not only that, but these guys are a lot more laid back, which really helps for the new brewer. I like that their yeasts and hops can be viewed by the customers, so I can see what they have and then find a recipe that uses it (the other store in town keeps their ingredients hidden and inaccessible, you have to ask for what you are looking for). Moral of the story, this is a great place and a bit cheaper on some products than the alternative in town!

Amazing service. It’s been 3 years since I had been in this store, they have weathered the recession well. Great selection, everything you need to make beer, wine, soda. Very friendly staff.

Friendly staff. I suggest everyone brew your own beer once in your life. You will NOT save money but you will make some damn good beer.
Another thing is that anyone 18+ can buy all the brewing supplies they want, legally!

What’s not to like about this shop? They are the only ones in Tucson doing what they do, and yet they still strive to provide great customer service. The staff here are truly great — I am totally new to many of the crafts they supply for here, and they have always treated me with the utmost respect even when I ask what might otherwise be considered stupid questions.
