Hey Vossy,

I work a few doors down from TheBrewShop. They tend to be a bit pricey but its dead handy if I need anything in a hurry

I went into the brew shop in Stockport the other day. Perhaps I picked a bad day but the two guys in the shop seemed more interested in packing stuff to post out than serving me. But then I have probably been spoiled by John and Hop and Grape

Do they know you EB?

I was in there today. You find yourself in mid conversation and they'll just flit off to another person. I think it's because they know they've got your business, though that's not what I call good customer service

They could try harder

Incedently, my wifes not as forgiving of that attitude as I am...one look and they know....as only wifeys can

No, that's the first time I had been in there since moving down to the peaks. It was their chance to make a good impression. I had a good look around the shop though. What are they like for supplying grain?

Hi EB, Very good. Have a look at their web prices and then compare to others.

I recently placed a large grain order at the Hop Shop. I told Peter and Mark at Stockport and they had kittens...like they would.

They told me that they will price match anything I find, within reason

i've look at their prices too, and it's x3 what i paid at Tuckers(445Ã‚Â£/tonne)

I paid Ã‚Â£26.95 from the Hop Shop for 25kg of Maris Otter....I thought it was a good deal

J-Y, I fish in France a lot and good beer isn't easy to come by....you must be the exception....unless Krony and Stella aren't the norm

Regards Jean-pierre

JY, is that this Tuckers?
They seem to sell in smaller quantities to HBers.
