I drove past this shop in March & it was an empty property

I discovered a homebrew shop in St Helens today whilst at work & had to pop in to check it out. I usually go to the really rather good The Brew Shop in Stockport, but it has to be on a weekend as I don't often get work out that way - but I work in St Helens quite a lot.

It caters for the brewer who uses kits & has loads of them. Vacuum packed hops were on display, but mostly English varieties (they did have Cascade however). I was told that if I rang before visiting then I could buy more-or-less anything for brewing.

Certainly worth a look for my next batch of ale.

Update: I've already been back for some yeast for my mead. I picked up a Muntons IPA syrup kit as I don't know when I'll find 5 consecutive hours to brew properly in the next few weeks.
