Best Brewing Supply Store Worcester Near Me

Steve Lebaron: Awesome place to brew your beer! They have a huge menu to start and the expertise to develope any custom beer to your taste. Very clean and Carl and his family are super nice, helpful, and always willing to accommodate to any special attention.

Donna C: We had the best time making beer at Deja Brew! All of the staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. We had fun and learned a lot too. We'll definitely be back.

X: TLDR: don't go to this stuck up business.It's very expensive, compared to actual homebrewing.The staff is rude and apparently do not conmprehend customer service skills.Customers are brew-noobs that need hand-holding from the condescending, undereducated staff.I've seen these type of business models all over New England. They *never* survive for nore than a couple years.Hope the owners have a plan for bankruptcy, because I guarantee it's coming soon.

Amelia Toye: Rude staff

Tishauna Greenwood: Deja Brew was an awesome experience! Carl was extremely knowledgeable, personable and welcoming. We enjoyed learning about the process of making wine and also doing it! Carl took the time to explain the history of Deja Brew as well and how his family acquired it. Love local businesses like this and we will be back again to make more!

Lawrence Boada: I can’t say enough about Deja Brew! It’s a real family affair over there and they always go out of their way to help make sure you’re brewing the best beer you can! Everything is top notch from the ingredients to the casual atmosphere. I’ve done 7 brews there over the years and keep coming back—even though it’s a 1 1/2 hour drive!Highly recommend!

Casey Queen: Awesome atmosphere, everyone is super knowledgeable and helpful. Very laid back and fun. Definitely will be back to see what else they have in store.

Zach Baron: Went as an anniversary gift from my fiance and made our own wine, which was a blast! The staff was super friendly and walked us through the whole process and livened up the experience for us. Wine ended up coming out great, and the wine on tap there was great as well!

Jacob Castiglione: Great atmosphere and Carl knows his business. Thinking about reasons to return.

Heather Saunders: Great place to make your own beer or wine. Highly recommend them!!!!

Donelda Turner: Great place for team building or just getting together and brewing beer or even making wine. The owners are very nice and very helpful

Aaron Shepherd: Great place, awesome staff. Very helpful, so many options and they are very knowledgeable and friendly. Will definitely go back.

Tim Wescott: Education, fun, and BEER.

Chad Graham: Amazing brew your own beer place. First time I've ever been and the staff was very knowledgeable and happy to help. Will be back soon.

Steven Tellyer: We went to Deja Brew several years ago and made their Drunken Monk ale. That was, hands down, one of the best beers my wife and I ever had. Now we live in Indiana and I’ve been brewing in my home and we still talk about how good that beer was. I called them up today just asking them to point me in the right direction of brewing it and they went ahead and sent me the instructions to me. I can’t tell you how taken aback they would just share their recipe like that. I miss MA and I can’t recommend this place enough for not only being awesome people with great beer recipes, but also for helping kickstart my desire to home brew. If you want to have a great experience or get your foot in the door with home brewing yourself this is the place to go.Thank you all so much!!

Steve Kaplan: Great fun brewing your own beer!

Rufus Guilford: Always a great experience.

Robert Everhart: Been going there for 12 years, the place is awesome

Edward Mix: Place is awesome under new ownership. Carl seems to be great new owner

James Fullana: Great place, warm friendly atmosphere. Would recommend everyone to try it out, makes you realize what good beer tastes like & the experience of bottling etc makes you feel like you earned a beer.

nelson medina: Called Clean beer . They can the next day. I am so happy the my draft beer is clean finally. Very very pleased

Carl Sanuth: Great service

Trevor Cabrera: Great dog and small human place. The couple next to me asked if I liked dogs, but what brewery goer doesn't! Cat people are probably "don't hate me I don't like beer but I do cider" people. Also there is COLD BREW. Ugh it's great.

Maricruz Osorio: Great beer and atmosphere!

Jason Fish: Amazing beer, amazing atmosphere, amazing staff. Upset it took me this long to visit. Going to be a regular stop from now on. Highly recommend! The dark beer is the Biere De Fête and the lighter is the Burudika. Both super tasty

Addison Hoff: Such excellent beer. Bartender told me to try the cold IPA, not a style I love, and I gotta say this one really blew me away. Staff were super cool and had great recommendations for what to do in and around town.

Kerry Kirley: I love this place. Excellent beer, fantastic vibe. Great mix of people and dogs.

Andrew Rance: Best brewery in the city, hands down. Top notch atmosphere and delicious, wide selection of brews.

Dmitriy Ark: This is always such an amazing place to visit. They allow dogs and have some limited food which is great. The beer and coffee are incredibly good. Plus the space itself is so much fun. Also the store is really cool and they offer a large variety of fun beer gear.

Cher by Photography: Best coffee ever. And she mixed it so perfectly right with my weird request. Tables, wifi, amazing food pop-ups, board games and art. Wow! Thanks for having me by Redemption Rock! Dog friendly too. Great hang out, get work or homework done.

Swabarna Mukherjee: Love them. The space is great. The prices are awesome and there's always something hAppening at their place.The beer has great taste and not all are high abv . There are a few reasonable lagers as well. If you have a big group, that's also not a problem.Yelp Worcester had an event earlier which I attended and we had a great time.For the DD or the teetotaler friend, they also have coffee and other options.Check out their website for upcoming events.It’s also dog friendly and can also bring your little ones.

Matthew Lawlor: Spacious and inviting tap room. Beer is awesome and high quality non alcoholic alternatives are also available.

Henry Han: great live music and fantastic beer and plenty of board games

samuel herman: Michelle helped me find the perfect beer! Definitely will be back

Peter Topor: Low quality beer, overpriced and staff was borderline rude

Marty: 1st timer here, and was very impressed with the beer and great space to sit and relax. The variety of chairs, sofas and stools definitely add a home town feel. HUGE bonus is that dogs are allowed inside while drinking excellent beer!

Mengu Oktay: They have great selection of beers, and very dog friendly!

Paul Carideo: Awesome, great beer and atmosphere.

Kyle Tripp: Dog friendly local brewery with nice beer options including shandy’s! The bbq food truck was great, got the taco fries- they were ready in under two minutes. The pup liked it too!Check the image on the website for parking advice, we used the lot and it was very easy.

Bud Wilbur: Decent beers. I enjoyed the vacationer I think it was called. Maine sourced hops and a really interesting taste for a pilsner. A lot of the selections were like that. Not what you would expect but pleasing on the palate. The only one I really found wanting was the stout. It was a bit weak for a stout.The atmosphere is a little bare for a brewery that doesn't give you a view of the works but it's dog friendly so I can give it a pass for that. The servers forgo tips here and instead pass them on to local charity.Try it out for some interesting flavors ...

Joe Augusto: Our local watering hole. Nice place, laid back. Even our dog likes it.

Kaitlin: One of my favorites is their classic Edelstein & my sister tried the Hysterical, with a side of goat cheese bites. Delicious as always!! They also have charcuterie boards, pretzels, donuts, etc. they built a porch last year, and it's such a nice addition to the giant inside space that they have. There's tons of indoor & outdoor seating (& tons of bathrooms, too). They have a great COVID-friendly ordering system in place. Also, 100% dog-friendly!

William Brideau: Nice shop to get most everything you need. If he doesn't have it, there is usually a suitable substitute. Just make sure to check the website for any events before making the drive.

Fish Nado79: Just picked up all my supplies to make Mead. They were extremely knowledgeable and helpful with setting me up. It's great to have a place like this that's willing to go the extra mile for their customers!! I'll be getting all my supplies from here!

Hubert Verhey: Great guys working there. Answered all my questions they have lots of recipes on file. Will be a regular customer now that I'm getting back into brewing again

Phil Sawyer: BVBS has everything you could possibly need in the line of fermenting beer, mead & wine. They've helped so many people both hobbyists and professionals. They withstood the test of time (and pandemics) for a reason. If you're even thinking about entering this hobby, go in and have a chat with Charlie. He's a very knowledgeable brewer and will find a solution for all of your brewing needs!

Nathan Azoti-Wright: What a fantastic experience! Visited for some supplies to make hard cider and got exactly what i was looking for and some fantastic information on best practices! No oversell or BS, I’ve been to so many brew supply shops in the past where people roll their eyes when asking about the basics so BVBS was a real breath of fresh air.Looking forward to this batch and the next to come!

Ian Allton: Charlie is friendly and knowledgeable. Great resource to have locally.

John Boitano: Great place, took the time to help with my keg setup and advice.

Aaron Bennett: I've been making beer for nearly twenty years and in my estimation this is the best homebrew shop within fifty miles. The owner, Charlie, is knowledgeable, well informed and friendly. Support a local independent business and learn something while you are at it.

Robert Hardy: This place is great! It was my first time going in and it was a pleasure. We received a warm friendly welcome and had the grains I needed. They had plenty to choose from and the prices were very reasonable. I often order online but I won’t be doing that anymore, it’s just so much easier to just go in and get what you need.

Lamel Moore: Always a joy to make purchases even during this crazy pandemic. Knowledgeable staff and customers always looking to help but most importantly never overbearing and I appreciate that!

John Cameron: Charlie is very knowledgeable and loves to make suggestions to improve your brew

Tanguy Philbert: I have tried another homebrew shop closer to where I live but I will gladly drive a bit out of my way to BVBS. I think the ingredients are fresher (grains, yeast and hops handled properly, super important for good beer), and the owner is personable. I don't know all what they have yet, but I haven't seen anything they don't have. Online ordering is super convenient as well.

Yvonne Betancourt: Super friendly and helpful staff. I had a class project and was completely clueless when I walked in however the owner came to my rescue and reviewed my recipe and gave us very helpful tips to the brewing process.

Ricki Chevalier: A well stocked facility. The owner is experienced and knowledgeable. It's our 1st try at winemaking and he has been extremely helpful educating us on the process. He's become our go to guru!

Debbie Houle: Making wine for the 1st time is always confusing . We are trying to make our first batch a success with Awesome hands on customer service and feedback i think we got this! He provided all answers to our questions! Ty for your hospitality!

Jonathan Wellington: Charlie is the best! Excellent knowledge on ingredients and gray suggestions for modifications. Well stocked and very friendly.

Travis Cook: I'm new to area and was searching for a new homebrew shop. I'm glad to have found this one. Charlie is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I have been able to reach out to him for special orders and he is prompt with a response. If you are in the area and you need a homebrew shop, look no further.

Nicholas Garza: I'm new to homebrewing so I really appreciate having a shop with such a knowledgeable and helpful owner. Besides helping get setup with a first brew kit, Charlie was also able to recommend a 2nd recipe to try out, as well as put all the ingredients together. I don't know how long it'll take me to get through 5 gallons of beer, but I know when I do I'll be back to get another batch!

Shawn Daley: First time at the store and it didn't disappoint. Very knowledgeable and willing to give advice. Highly recommended and even though it's a 40 minute ride I will be back in a couple of weeks for my next brew.

Daniel Walsh: Great place Charlie is awesome, very knowledgeable and helpful and the store has everything you need to brew your own beer!

SHAUN BEAUREGARD: Love the Greater Good and their full line of Imperials

Free2B Anonymous: We love this place! The menu is amazing & the servers are excellent. The beer selection & quality is excellent. It's worth the trip to visit this brewery!

Sabrina: Beer is excellent. Food is meh, service pleasant but very slow. I think it's just beer for us there from now on.

Kevin Long: Wednesday night’s are date night with my daughter. Tonight we split three flights of 12 of the beers on tap.. all were awesome/delicious!! (24oz each 2 beers). The chicken sammich was awesome!! The dip with the onion rings is crazy delicious!! BUT MOST IMPORTANT THE YOUNG LADY BARTENDER “Tia” is a rockstar of an employee she served every person in the place and never skipped a beat!! Tia, hopefully your boss reads this review, you are exactly what every successful business needs!! ❤️ awesomeness!! Hit this place up you won’t be disappointed!! 🤙🏼 K&E

Taive Muenzberg: Extremely rude customer service, would not return.

Trevor Cabrera: Probably wouldn't go back. I've been to over 250 breweries and $18 pre tip for 2 beers at a brewery is a little excessive... Especially when I stood at the bar for 10 minutes before she noticed and then when I tried the alternative or table service (this dude said that would be easier) she visited like once. I woulda ordered more beer had she come by when I had an empty glass - also was NOT that busy. About 50% capacity.Beer was good. Will give them that. Sours and pulp daddy were cool. So, not being a total jerk here. But would NOT recommend otherwise. Get it to go I guess...Wasted money. There's lots of cheaper breweries around with better Vibes.

Homebrew Red: Good beer. Don’t order food here though. For example… they won’t allow you to order a combination taco order even though it’s same price for all three types (beef, chicken, vegetarian). What’s worse is that your food order will take a long a$$ time without any warning from your server, not to mention they may not get the order right (we waited a long time for our food, the order was wrong when it finally came out, and is the first time ever I’ve sent food back and cancelled the order). Just get the beer here and don’t bother rolling the dice for a food order.

Sarah Hay-Sutton: Great playlist, friendly service!!!!

Jeffrey Briggs: Good beer and fun atmosphere. Always a great selection of beers and my favorites are always awesome.Tried their seltzer and they are delicious. Hadca Golightly of the Imperial ones and the taste was fantastic.

Jordan Sandman: Pulp Daddy and Pulpy Dreams are household names. Nuff said?

Jadira B: Love this brewery all their beers are delicious. I started out by just drinking their stouts and I have drank my way through the entire menu. They also released a new food menu with a little bit of everything.

Terri Brophy: Nice place! Good beer and spiked seltzer cocktails. Didn't eat but the food looked good!

mark moon: Ok I'll be honest I I'm not a big beer drinker so the beer to me was good. The waitress was great. But the meal sucked the chicken was way to hot and spicy the chips were stale and hard. I have been to a lot of brewers that have the same problem stick to brewing beer it works.

Mac: Great Mexican chicken sandwich! Needs different kind of bun! Otherwise 💕

Scott Dickman: Love Greater Good I.P.A.'s. I've been drinking them for a couple years. I've tried every one they make and in my opinion they brew some of the best I.P.A.'s out there. My personal favorite is Greylock. How many quadruple I P.A. 's can you say aren't hoppy. Somehow Greater Good did it. Greylock is somehow fruity at first with a nice mouth feel and a great finish. No bitterness or hoppy taste it's just the perfect blend and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good quadruple I.P.A. that isn't hoppy. Definitely not a I.P.A. for people looking for their first experience with them but if you've been drinking I.P.A.'s and are looking for something that's all around great then try Greylock. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Awesome job. Galaxy is my second favorite but seems to be hard to find. Not many places carry it which I don't understand its another great I.P.A. from Greater good. Keep up the great work guy's. Props to all who brew at GG

Joel Martin: My wife and I stopped in for lunch and it was a great time. The beer, as always, was awesome. We had a burger and chicken sandwich which were also good. The staff was very friendly too!

Tim Cassidy: Pulp Daddy, very good. GG vibe, ditto. Would it kill them to put prices? Would have given 5 stars. Hate that! Also, web said chilli. Sad to find not available.

Todd: Good beers and decent food. Great service. The food alone would be a 3.5 for me due to the lack of seasoning, but the beers and ambience got this up to a 4.The sours selection is pretty interesting. The bourbon barrel stout was also pretty decent. I think their IPA’s are also quite drinkable.The food was good, but under seasoned. The house chips were crispy, but needed a dusting of some type of seasoning. They weren’t salty or savory.The chicken sandwich came with tortilla chips, but desperately needed a pico or guacamole side…or maybe the beer cheese. Munching on plaint tortilla chips isn’t too exciting.I had the burger with beer cheese. The beer cheese was exceptional, but the patty itself could have used more seasoning. The bacon and cheese helped flavor it, but it still needed something.

Carlos Canuto: Heckcillent bier !!

Jamie St. Pierre: Service lacks, food/drinks great!Past 2 times going.1st, they sat me down. 5 minutes later they told me I couldn’t sit there anymore and told me to go to a standing table.2nd time. The waiter largely ignored me(he was really nice though!)Tried over charging me on stuff I didn’t get(always check your bill!)Service lacked, but staff was friendly.Food/drink excellent. I gave 4 out of 5 because of poor service, great staff persona, and excellent food/beer.Check them out!

dan farley: great time, great food, GREAT STAFF!!@

Craig Healy: This is the best brewery in the area! If you like lighter beers, I highly reccomend the Time Traveler. The atmosphere, food and customer service is also unbeatable. Nothing better than .50 cent wings on Tuesdays!!!

George Scott: Cool place to watch some youth hockey and drink a beer

Lydia Tulinye: Awesome set up and local brewery… good food, had their burger and fries with the giant pretzel 🥨

Michael Karkos: Great beer and the food is good. Service was very good. This place is a bit loud but tolerable.

Mrs. Moriconi: My husband and I had a great time with live music and good food. He liked the Cuttyhunk Hefeweizen. I just drank water because I'm boring. 😁

Maria Arcuri: Bay State Brewing Co. hit the spot with their Buffalo Mac & Cheese, Triple Smash Burger with Taters, and Bloody Mary made with their Bling Selzer!

Thomas McGuire Jr: Today me & my mom tried this restaurant with Grubhub and we order the food and everything almost went to the wrong address and finally I tried to run and the restaurant fix it! But she the delivery driver finally understood!!! But she got the person name wrong and told me his name is Joe!It not Joe and his name is Jim and I know him all along and he was called Joe in the past but he changed his name and all the neighbors call him Jim all the time and they never call him Joe!!!Second she called to find the right address and it was my mom address and said here the food, and no apologies and never said I’m sorry! I will never order this place again!!!While we got the food and first thing pretzel and chips were okay but the cheese was not cheese! This was a taste of salad dressing and we never ordered salad dressing! We order brew cheese and they give us something different and the shrimp was to spicy and the fish I had was okay but not great!!!I won’t go back!!! I was shocked that my favorite restaurant Peppercorn was closed and I give this one a tried. But it a thumb down to me and she could have said I’m sorry how you feel and she never care to say I’m sorry!!!I’m not a theft! I’m customer who tried my best to explain the delivery driver and I was nice enough! But she was having an hard time explaining to me but never she never apologized and she said your mom got to change the address! My had the right address! If I was the delivery driver! I would say I’m truly sorry for giving out the wrong address and it won’t happen again!!!She didn’t do it that way! She only said your mom got to change address without an apology!!!

Bob Danek: Good beer, good food, good service. What more do you need? Will definitely be back.

Sam Schwaller: Great brewery with tons of menu options, space, and drinks. Pizza is very good and so are the tater tots. Staff was super nice and met (and exceeded) our expectations perfectly. The restaurant is connected to an big arcade and I think there are a few other establishments/companies built in to this warehouse-like building. Great work to the staff!

Kevin Baker: Awsome spot, we had a party of 50+ upstairs and it was awsome food and beer. Nice relaxing atmosphere and staff was excellent! Thank you.

Jadira B: Had the prosciutto pizza and lemon arugula salad it was delicious !

Rebecca James: Slow service beer was ok

Gre Nadine: Brasserie locale artisanale où vous pourrez déguster de très bonnes bières🍺. Les plats que nous avons pris étaient délicieux🍔. Très bon accueil😊. Je recommande. 👍

Harry Grongstad: Great rink pub-restaurant. Come here and watch the WSU Lancers play and have a beer and pizza!

Meagan Ryan: Can’t give my business to a place that forces horses to cart people around the city

Christopher Marshall: A not crowded, but to be expected on a Saturday. Beer was good. Outdoor tables are nice.

Raithe Blackwolf: Slow service slower kitchen. Almost an hour to get the worst reuben I have ever had along with bland soft tater tots. Mac n cheese was ok at best.

shawn s: Quality beer at a reasonable price. Would be 5 stars but I'm more of a Bud guy!

Nicole Kramer: We came out to celebrate oktoberfest and the food and beer was fantastic🍻 The service was fast despite it being really crowded
