Yakima Valley Hops — Local services in Yakima

Hands down what I consider to be the best homebrew supply store in the northwest. I've traveled a lot and visited a lot of stores in California, Washington, Oregon and Idaho. This locally owned store has a owner's presence about it. The owners are hands on, friendly, approachable and knowledgeable about the products they sell. The selection is great for any brewer but as an all-grain brewer, I haven't been in even once and they haven't had what I needed. The owners create an atmosphere where you want to stay and you feel the essence of brewing about the old converted hops warehouse (still an active hops warehouse and distributor). I drive from the Tri-Cities and plan my stops in advance. Definitely worth the few minute drive off the highway. Clearly, the owners take pride in what they do and what they sell.

I've been buying hops from them for about a year now. I buy bulk (no less than 1lb per variety) and typically get 3lbs per order.

That kinda blew me away, I didn't expect to get basically $10 of free hops (at typical LHBS prices), it was a very nice surprise. I'd recommend them to anyone buying in bulk and looking for fresh tasting, vibrant...

I just had to take a second to stop and tell you guys how awesome you are. Ever since I heard about you guys on the brulosophy podcast I have had great experiences. You guys ship your packages as quickly as possible, package everything very well, and the brewing ingredients are always top-notch and fresh. The cool stickers you guys put in the orders are a nice touch too. I feel like I struck gold as far as finding a quality brew supply shop. Even your prices are great. The cost of ingredients for one of my brews even including shipping is still less than what many of my local brew shops charge. Thanks for being awesome! If I am ever out that way I will stop in to...
