I've been to this place a few times now, usually just picking stuff up for a recipe. When you walk in, the store is a little cramped. The space is full of a bunch of different odds and ends, seeming to have almost one of everything I could possibly need. The man who I have seen up front each time I have been there (I forget his name) is extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and has been great when they were missing a hop variety suggesting replacements. Great guy and a great store. I would much rather go here than the one up north. Love this place.

One of the best homebrew shops around. I went there years ago when I lived in the southwest suburbs of Chicago. A very small shop, but the place is packed with supplies in every nook of the store. Selection is great as well. And the owner is a great guy, willing to talk to you and help you with any questions. They do classes on beer, wine and meads. My only complaint is the prices are a little high, compared to other shops. I paid about $50 for a sack of base malt that I usually get from another place for about $35. But they always have fresh yeast and hops and just about every grain to fit your bill. I still go occassionally when my usual shop is out of something, even though it's an hour drive each way.
