Short answer, this is the place to go for all your brewing needs.
First time I went to this place three years ago, the staff was incredibly welcoming as a new brewer. My friend and I started brewing with a $50 kit we found on Amazon and hated it. We decided to pop in here and see what they had to offer and I'm so glad we did. The staff was very helpful, and helped us select one of their "BIAB" beer kits. It was just as easy as the one online, but the beer knocked our socks off. If you're new to brewing, definitely try one of their kits.
From there, this place has been so helpful with advice to make our beer better and better each time. I've even brought in a recipe once and the person at the shop helped wall through it with me and suggest changes.
Great no pressure environment where everyone is welcome to learn.
With any review, I like to leave a few cons. Equipment wise, you can sometimes find cheaper items in Amazon. But the knowledge you get from these guys is worth the extra few bucks. As for ingredient prices, they're very competitive. Second, their website is pretty clunky if you're into online shopping, but the team here is...
Read moreI've been going to the Beer Nut for about a year, and they are fantastic. I have always received quick and enthusiastic service. I can imagine one would get tired of teaching each new person who bought a started kit each step to brew beer. There are instructions with the kit and many books you can buy on the subject, and many of those books are available at the Beer Nut! Also, there is the internet. I was once a new brewer too, and, like any new hobby, it takes work and research, especially at the beginning. After my first few batches, we began writing our own recipes. The Beer Nut was so enthusiastic and willing to show us the ropes, like finding and grinding our own grains and picking the best hops for the batch. Not only that but the staff remembered us the next time and asked how our stout turned out. Eventually they helped us get equipped to start to all grain brewing, which has made our beers taste so much more unique. All in all, we are brewing twice a month and always get stoked to go to see the folks at the Beer Nut.
*also, they are open Sundays!...
Read moreNice to have an alternative Brew store. I like to buy from all three brew stores along the wasatch, but I usually go to salt city brew supply, I was getting ready to go to SCBS. I called them and they were getting ready to close. I called The Beer Nut and they were open 30 minutes longer just enough time for me to get there safely. The service is good and usually have some good feedback with the recipes I'm putting together. Arts Brew supply is usually closed when I'm putting something together or I'd go there more often. The One thing I like about the Beer Nut is the Hours of operation, The one thing I wish they would do is have a suggested recipe of the month, Sometimes i'm in the area and stop in to just see whats available. If they had a chalk board with a SROM They would make more...
