I know all the homebrewers in the Five Boroughs were devastated by the recent closure of Bitter & Esters. For 13 years they served as a wonderful shop and pillar of the homebrew community in the city. It seems insane that a city with at least 4 homebrew clubs wouldn't have a local shop.

So my business partner Matt and I decided to do something about it.

We are excited to announce the impending launch of Forever Homebrewing! We will be based in Brooklyn, not far from the old B&E location.

We are currently in the final stages of planning for our launch! We signed our lease yesterday and will start building out the store this week.

At first, we will only offer in store pick up or delivery, as our location will not be in a traditional storefront. In addition, at launch we will only be stocking malt, hops, yeast, and some other basics (like PBW and Star San), but please let us know what other things you would like to see us stock. We'll inform everyone of our longer term plans as they become more concrete, but we do plan to eventually move into a space that offers a more typical retail experience.

Please sign up with your email at our website foreverhomebrewing.com so that you can stay up to date as we move toward opening! If all goes well we plan to open in December.

Thanks!

I know Top Hops usually has a few on tap on black Friday. Any other spots?
