I just heard at the Lunch table in work that a new Brick and Mortar Homebrew supply shop has opened in Athlone near AIT .

Anyone have any further light to shed on this rumor ?

Its true. Its called "Best Brew" I got the number from 11811. The owner said he had been open a few weeks but hadn't advertised yet. Anbody in Athlone?

I am, i'll pop out there and have a look now <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->

He's there alright but closer to town than the AIT, across from the Shack pub.

Any chance of a review ? <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

Hmmmm well he doesn't seem to know a lot about brewing, at a glance the shop is very expensive, 25L fermenter was over €20. He has no grain, hops, decent yeast or fermenters over 25L. He is selling household sugar! I wish him all the best but i think unless the students go mad making cheap kits he's already done for. Shame really cause i was quite excited about having a HBS on my doorstep <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt="" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( -->
