Oh, that is a bummer. I don't homebrew--I didn't have the physical space for it when I was most into beer--but it's a hobby I respect the heck out of.Aw man. I really liked this place.

There are other brew shops, I guess, but that one was the best. It's the hub of an entire culture.
Yeah, it's like when your FLGS closes. You can still get the stuff, but ...

Yeap, if its a good old fashioned mom and pop run with love its a real bummer. When the chain places close it doesn't bother me one bit.
Especially if there isn't anywhere else that is a replacement. My favorite Italian restaurant closed in October and the worst part is we didn't hear about it until after, so we didn't get to go one last time.

These people are unfortunately still around, and still obnoxious, and a lot of them haven't noticed the craft beer scene isn't really thriving or cool like it was in their youth. A lot of friends of my friends are in this camp so I run into them more often than I'd like.
