Home Brew Forum

I am in the Newark neck of the woods for Easter wknd and was wondering if there are any homebrew shops in the area so I can stock up on supplies while I'm away.


Thanks

I don't know about the Newark area but if you're going via the M56 there's The Brew Shop in Stockport, it's only five minutes from the motorway. I popped in the last time I was travelling over to the East mids.

I have been to that shop trouble is I'll be passing there about 4 am

I notice you are from wirral area which shops if any do you use?

The only ones I know of are the tranmere homebrew shop which is a ripoff and the small shop in oxton rd.

If all I'm after is a tap or some crown caps etc. I use the shop in Tranmere but for AG bits & pieces I use Hop & Grape.

There's not much in the way of HBS round here.

If you're near Newark-on-Trent, there's Lombard Wines (Newbrew) on Lombard Street. Its a while since I've been in, not the best stocked shop in the world, but friendly enough. They also run the Linbrew shop on High Street in Lincoln.

A bit further afield, There's 'The Home Brewer's Centre' on Ratcliffe Gate, Mansfield.

That's a shame... I'm pretty sure their shop at Lincoln is still open, its a better shop too - a nice chap called Tony runs it, he's very helpful.

yes the shop (Linbrew) in Lincoln is indeed still open

run by Tony Frecklington (a N.G.W.B.J. beer AND wine judge)

very knowledgeable chap, and as you say very friendly..they have disposed of the Newark shop

a tad further away but the Homebrew Centre in Grismby is going strong. You can order online with them too.
