Yea hes talking about o'sheas. The homebrew portion of their shop seems to be a side attaraction. Their main concentration seems to be on selling comercial beers in the keg and bottle. I sent my wife in there to get a hydrometer, I even had the owner on the phone when she was at the register and I was telling him what I needed. He went and got it for her and low and behold she comes home with a thermometer.
I live not far from O'sheas but I only use them to pick up yeast cultures and co2. I would rather drive an hour to b3 to get all my grains and talk to people who know what their doing.
I used to shop there long ago before Jeff expanded the keg business. Back then he had a lot of good stuff, but was hit and miss for advice. He does have some kick ass recipe kits though (the extract Kolsch is awesome). Now, I work a few blocks from B3 Riverside... no contest. The daily drive to Riverside is a killer, but at least I can get whatever I need and great service too.
