Hi, I'm Josh Smith — homebrewer, Tri-Cities local, and the person behind this shop.

For a while now, our community has been missing something: a local homebrew shop. Ordering online works, but it doesn't help when brew day is tomorrow, or when you just want to talk through a recipe with someone who brews. I'm doing something about that.

My goal is to stock the ingredients Tri-Cities brewers actually use — grain, hops, yeast, and a growing list of additives — and get them to you as fast as possible, at the lowest cost I can manage. Every order comes with hand delivery by default, and if you have a go-to recipe you brew regularly, let me know and I'll keep those specific ingredients on the shelf for you.

Beyond just supplies, I want this to be a resource for the local brewing community. The newsletter and brew news page will feature recipes, clone ideas, and local events. If you're looking for inspiration or want to try something new, there'll always be something brewing here.

I'm finishing up the last of the licensing now and will be up and running soon. In the meantime, sign up for the newsletter to follow the journey — and let me know what ingredients matter most to you. Your input is what shapes this shop.
