This was my go to beer brewing supply story but I dont know what happened in the past two years. I took a break in brewing for about 2 years but fired the system back up now and was surprised at the change at craft beer cartel. I used to submit my order via Facebook messenger to have them weigh out the grains and have my hops and yeast all ready to go when I got there so I was in and out in about a minute. Now, they are slow to reply to Facebook messages asking about inventory, and was told they will no longer have purchases ready to go before I arrive for a fast transaction. Went there this week and the hop selection was poor and not much yeast to choose from either. No US-05 for weeks. Not even a White Labs or Wyeast equivalent available. I dont know if this is a COVID related matter but I hope they get back to how they were.

Great beer store! I personally wish the prices were posted on the products, but the selection is amazing and the guy there is really cool.

Awesome place with same beer as Riverside Market. (Same owner) up the street. Great beer and snacks. Popcorn from local small company. Brown bag popcorn. My fav is dark chocolate peanut butter and sea salt caramel. Service is friendly and knowledgeable.

Great staff that knows their stuff. I visit them regularly to buy homebrewing supplies. They also offer a great variety of beers, growler fills and do homebrewing classes.

Great place to pick up some craft beers or supplies to make your own. Just make sure youre not fooled by the photos and think you can order a pint or two here, I thought this because of the taps and table inside. Ended up driving here to check it out to find this out, however I didnt leave disappointed because of the couple of employees that chatted with my friend and I. We ended up leaving with a few beers as well

As a home brewer, this is the place to go. They carry ample stock of any item you need and if they dont have it, they most likely will be able to order it for you. The prices are higher than what youll see from online retailers, but its so worth supporting a local business. Especially because you get more than supplies when you come here, you get advice. The associate kindly spent 20 minutes talking to me about tips on wort starters when I just came in for a $2 stopper. It was so nice and so helpful! Plus they have a great selection of beers to buy for home.

I have been here on many occasions and some staff know more than others. On the last visit, i was exceptionally pleased with the help i received. I had a partial recipe and being new to brewing did not know how to adjust ingredients. They helped me for almost an hour using apps to calculate quantities of grains and times for different steps in the brew process. He even had me try a chocolate grain to see the flavor! In the end i left with a written out step by step recipe for an allgrain brown ale that was perfect!

Absolutely first class. Best bottle shop in SoFla based on my experiences. Extremely helpful and friendly.As an aside, the service I received here was in stark contrast to Sunny Isles fine wine & spirits. Minuscule selection and the rudest people Ive ever encountered.

Smaller home brew and beer shop. Didnt have everything I was looking for to brew, but got some of it. Tucked back in the neighborhood, but a cool area.

Review №19

Nice small craft beer market. Its great to see such an elaborate craft beer selection, supported by south Florida craft beer enthusiasts, and its not a franchise wine and spirits location. Staff was friendly and helpful. They frequently have events featuring a particular craft beer company and their founder, brewer, or representative.

Great neighborhood spot. While they mostly sell craft beers and build-your-own-beer kits, you can find a few random wines,cookies, and kombucha.

Owner: Thats $25, Me: But they sell it on Amazon for $13.50 Owner: **shrugs, tries to take the item back**. Like I can just go anywhere else and buy a corker. One star for abitrage. The guy with the handlebar mustache is cool, though.

Gteat choice of 🍺 and the employee was very pleasant and suggested a few good beers. They also have lounge areas inside and outside with Wi-Fi for a chill environment. For the beernerds or brew enthusiasts, they also offer home brewing kits which I think is pretty awesome.
