Thank you SoCo! You had exactly what I needed at an amazing price. I loved the customer service over the phone so much. You answered fast and seemed very excited to help me wich is hard to find these days. I called for a Vino Meter. They had plenty in stock at a price cheaper than Amazon. My wife called right after me to confirm it was the correct device. After sharing a laugh and listening tona short story of why I needed it they gladly confirmed it was correct for my needs. We felt so welcome and cared for that we went online and ordered bottles and they were at the counter ready for pickup when we arrived. Thanks again everyone! I will gladly do business here from now on

These guys are super knowledgeable and helpful. We loved it that they didnt bombard us or try to sell to us when we walked in - they made their selves available and recommended some great items that were at a great price.We felt comfortable approaching them with questions and assistance. To top off the experience shopping here, it definitely felt like we got a good deal!

I came on Saturday at 3:55 and was told it was too late to fill my 5lb tank. Party Barn did it in less than 5 minutes. This is poor customer service and will no longer be a customer.

Pro nano brewer and former homebrew shop owner here. These guys are such a great resourse to have in a pinch. Books, malts, accessories.. They have it all or most all of what the novice as well as the pro brewer needs. Love these guys.

Review №19

Beyond satisfied. Knowledgable AND easy to approach staff. Something you cant find easily, especially in the big city.I asked him to help with clearing a white wine up, he knew exactly what I needed and went and got it.Joseph just went above my expectations of what Solid service is to me.He was honestly just easier to talk to compared to some of the other home brew associates at the store in North Austin (that recently moved). Easy to approach type of guy, I tried not to talk too much or ask too many questions and he was cool the entire time.I own a house nearby and will be buying everything I need from this store year after year.

This is the best homebrew store in South Austin. Its also (I think) the only homebrew store in South Austin, but its well-stocked and the staff is friendly and helpful.

Review №23

This place is great. I first became a customer a year or two ago for cheesemaking supplies.The pandemic finally gave me a reason to start winemaking (gotta work on those apocalypse skills). I had been interested in doing it for years. I called them and they helped me pick out a winemaking kit for curbside pick-up.I will say, I think this place is aimed towards beer folks, but that makes sense in Austin. They are still solid on the wine side and willing to special order things. After my first batch, I asked and they are also special ordering me a wine kit that they dont usually carry.Ive gone back a few times for odds and ends. They also have a good selection of fermenting stuff. Ive started to make my own sauerkraut and got all my supplies at Soco Brewing.I appreciate they are offering curbside pick-up during the pandemic. They always come out with masks, are fast, friendly and safe.

This place is awesome. The location is handy, the staff is super helpful, and the prices rival the other place in town.More specifically, my wife and I recently started a business, and needed bottles on the fly. Not only were they able to make our deadline happen, but they were super nice about it too! Working with SoCo has been a pleasure.Thanks guys!

They have it all, great selection, friendly knowledgeable staff, quality ingredients - you name it.The guys that work here are always willing to help and troubleshoot. Im relatively new to brewing so its nice to have people to go to when I get myself in trouble. Highly recommended. Their new location is next to Thirsty Planet Brewing. I just hope when Thirstys tap room opens I can browse with a beer in hand.

Review №46

Great local homebrew store with nice range of ingredients, and some ingredients are local. I brew beer at home and this place has just about everything I need and then some (+ wine and cheese). Ive been homebrewing for several years, and own my gear, but these guys have a great selection of malt, hops, and yeast in an environment that is welcoming and open to discussion if you choose to engage. If youre just getting started, they have a great selection of gear, and seem really open to getting you what you need if youre looking for something specific or not in stock.Keep it up guys!
