Our local homebrew shop

[travman]

Visited our local shop in Wakefield this weekend to find they were having a tasting day with some very nice wines and beers to sample
Wish i had known beforehand or i would have caught the bus
But it was great to see it busy, maybe some other forum members where also there???
Do your local homebrew shops have days like these?

We at BrewGenie have had tasting days and find them to be a real help. We have them particulary when a new range of kits are available or when we open a new store and we mailshot all our known customers and invite them along together with a manufacturer and although the day is extremely hard work it can be very enjoyable for us, the customers and the accountant!
I'd be interested to hear the opinions of customers who have attended such events at any hbs and what they themselves gain from the day.

Hi travman, is your local shop in Wakefield, the one next to Fernadez bar, or is there another one in wakefield which i don't know about. Sorry to hear that i missed a tasting session there, last week. I called in yesterday for some corks. The lady who runs the shop is very helpful, we bought a kit to make some cherry brandy awhile ago, and she brought out samples of loads of different kit liqueurs for us to taste.

Hi Ruthie
Yes it is M & D home brew inc' fernandes brewery in the malt house.
I find it a good helpful store plus they do thier own brewing of beers and wines which you can order by the barrel if you wish.

Hi everyone,

If anyone journeys as far south as Windsor, Berks please feel free to pop in as we have our own samples of most of the WE wine kits and we give tastings every day. Most of our samples are reasonably aged too.
I'm afraid it's only the wines though as we don't do beer.

Regards,

ian

Sounds good to me, is there a limit on how many times you can sample?
