Hi All,
I am new to brewing and I am looking to get some supplies in. My question, is there any walk in shops for homebrew supplies? I know there is many really good online stores based here in Ireland but is there anywhere you can walk in and pick up what you need. I know Tesco Extra have a limited supply of kits etc....but I would love to know of anywhere I can go to pick up brew items?
Any advice is very welcome,
Dave
Where are you based David? I'm guessing you may be living in some part of Northern Ireland as you mention tesco extra. As far as I know here in Republic of Ireland tesco does not sell any home brewing supplies. In Galway Home brew west have a shop where you can walk in and pick what you want. I haven't been to any other shops that you can walk in to other than a small section of a shop in Paul St shopping center in Cork that more often than not is out of stock of even basic items and their prices are significantly higher than other stores.
I am based in Dublin and I have bought items out of Tesco Extra in Finglas, they stock a limited amount of items. I might try Home Brew West in the next couple of days as I am heading to Castlebar on Monday so I could swing by. So its looking like online shopping for me I guess.
Anybody know anywhere in Dublin?
Don't thinks so David. I use online or swaps with other members here including group buys.
The Health Store in Swords pavillions has a small range of kits and bits. Not much in the way of equipment though.
