The person who helped us find what we needed to make our own Mead was very helpful. He explained every step in detail & collected everything we needed. Wish I got his name.

This place is awesome! If you are looking for a place to continue your home brewing hobby, advance it, or just start out this is the place to go! they have by far the best prices of any of the local brew shops, which there arent that many anymore, they are centrally located, and they have anything you need. Their yeast selection is amazing! Super helpful and knowledgeable!

The dog paid more attention to us than the owner did. The owner also does not wear his mask. We walked in and informed him that we were looking for grains, hops, and yeast. He said “I’m taking a break” and did not even make eye contact with us. We were the only people in the store. With service like this, I’m not surprised.He took a phone call instead of helping us and he answered it “why aren’t you here yet?” - assuming he was talking to one of his employees.I have been coming to this store for the better part of 3 years but I won’t be back

Service here is great. Ive gotten attentive help and fantastic advice every trip Ive had to make there. Unfortunately Ive had to make several trips over the same item. I purchased a 5gal keg from them and unfortunately its been nothing but problems. First the main cap wouldnt seal so I lost the first batch, after the second batch was pressurized there is now a leak in the 3 pronged peg lock when I put it above 10psi. If you live far away like I do, these little issues become huge inconveniences.

Awesome brewing store in the heart of Columbus. Everyone that works here is so warming and welcoming to help. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and the store owner has such a great connection to brewers throughout Columbus. Feels like meeting up with family each time I shop. Prices are extremely competitive, and they even offer to mill for you! The store has even been willing to offer me a complimentary bag of experimental malt (like a beta trial before sale). Keep it up!

Started getting serious about brewing in the last few months. Its been great to be able to walk in each time and get everything that I need. Had one small problem (not store related it was with a product) and the owner took care of it immediately, not questions asked. Seems that I am there almost weekly. Highly recommend.

Review №23

Best place in central Ohio to get beer, wine, mead, distilling, and soda making equipment and ingredients. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and Jim, the owner, holds his business, his selection, and his staff to the highest standards. They have the largest selection of grains and hops than anywhere else in the area and will not hesitate to drop inferior products for higher quality. If there is something you need, he will find it for you and get you the best price. Local breweries will call Jim when they run short or need a specialty grain that they cannot find elsewhere at a moments notice. He also gives a 10% discount to veterans and 5% to AHA members.

When it comes to brewing supplies, Buckeye Brewcraft has always had what I needed at prices that are beyond reasonable. If youre in need of hops, flavorings, supplies, or even honey ( great local honey) I would stop here first. Though the memorabilia could use some more maize and blue

This is the greatest brew supply house you will find. The prices are great and Jim is always helpful about sharing his knowledge. The entire team is great.... inventory is great.... turnaround times on special order items are very short. Stop in or call, this place is absolutely first class. We are fortunate to have this in the Columbus area. Keep up the great work!!!!

I have known Jim, the owner for more than 6 years. He has built an excellent business against tall odds, doing it through providing great products at reasonable prices and with a fervent desire to please his customers. There are ignorant people out there that occasionally try to make his business look bad. They can’t, because he runs an honest, top shelf business. Anyone needing his type of business need not go anywhere else.

Ive been brewing for over 30 years. I stumbled around from one brew supply store to another until finally, many years ago, discovering Buckeye Brewcraft. Jim, the owner, is friendly, knowledgeable, affable, and enjoys spending time with his novice customers as well as his old timers. His employees quickly learn the business and are well prepared to help with any questions you might have. Excellent, great quality equipment, grains, hops yeasts... Jim and Buckeye Brewcraft are The Real Deal.

Had my 1st of hopefully more visits to this store this past weekend. They have what ya need and the prices seem fair. Staff isnt pushy and they were great at answering my questions. I have done a bit of research going into the start of my hobby and am looking forward to visiting this store again. Confident they put me on the right track for success with my hobby and we parted ways after my 1st purchase, with thier business card in hand to call them up if I have questions along the way. Appreciate what your doing BBC. Cheers!

Buckeye Brewcraft is a great place to find brewing supplies. I make wine at home and their selection of regular and seasonal wine kits is wonderful. If they dont have what I need I can always order it and they have it within a week. I would highly recommend this place! The employees are always friendly and knowledgeable.

Fantastic brewing supply store with always fresh supply. Prices are comparable with online prices when shipping is considered but always more fresh! Take the staffs advice, they will not steer you wrong even if there is a more costly alternative. Flip side, if they suggest to spend a few extra bucks on a better product...do it. Ive done several side-by-side comparisons with my ideas and their suggestions and their suggestions have always been worth it.

I have only been there once as of yet, but I really liked this place. Good selection and prices. I got to talking with the owner, and he seems really excited and passionate about what he is doing. He seemed eager to talk with me and answer all the questions I had and gave me some good advice. When I told him I had driven an hour to get there he even gave me some free cold packs to keep my liquid yeast fresh for the ride home. I recently moved closer, and despite living closer to other home brew supply stores I will be coming here for all my brewing needs.

The guys who run this place are helpful and knowledgeable. They have a great selection of brewing supplies and equipment for beer and wine, all sorts of malts, hops, yeast and whatever else, and they are patient with new brewers like me who dont know what theyre talking about. So glad theres a good brewing supply store close to home!

Review №48

The owner is very knowledgeable, extremely helpful, and polite. We were very pleased with his willingness to educate us and provide the needed information.As a newly retired teacher, I have very little respect for the woman who rated this business based on her own personal opinion of Common Core. This business owner, as well as everyone else, is entitled to state and/or display their opinion. It is not partisan, as suggested by this woman; it is a personal opinion. Personally, I applaud him for showing his true opinion, which I wholeheartedly support. Most people do not understand the true nature of Common Core and what it is really doing to our students and the education system in general.This woman should simply shop somewhere else and not confuse an opportunity to rate a business with an opportunity to spout retoric which has nothing to do with this business.Well done Jim!We were impressed with the business and the service and will support this business again. Not only is he a nice guy, he cares about kids and supports veterans!

Top Notch Business. I live all the way over in Dublin and use Buckeye Brewcraft for my one-stop everything I need homebrew store. The best part is that I can call ahead and BB will tell me if they have everything I need (they usually do and its usually really fresh) and then hold my order for me until I can pick it up. I really appreciate that since its quite a long way for me to come. Their knowledgeable staff is very helpful when I need it too.

This is my favorite place to shop for my hobby supplies.I recently joined a Wine Making Group for Newbies, and the Owner Jim Downing,is one of the nicest people you could ever meet! Jim treats his customers like friends,he wants to ensure the wine you make from his products,becomes something you will be proud to share,with your family and friends. I go to his wine classes,and reach out to Jim often with question.

The team at Buckeye Brewcraft is great. I feel like whenever I go in with questions I not only get a good explanation but a recommendations for what they would do themselves as home-brewers. Oftentimes when they recommend a product in the store theyll also give a DIY recommendation. I feel like theyre there to help me figure out what kind of home-brewer I want to be, not just trying to get me to spend money.They also have classes regularly for a variety of topics which can be a great way to get exposure to a topic youre interested in. There are also fairly regular competitions which are a great way to get feedback on your brews from experienced brewers.

Outstanding place, Jim was very helpful I spent over two hundred dollars.. The stuff he has is good quality. I was having trouble finding the cooking burners.. And he had two ...he ask if I was a veteran to take money off..I enjoyed talking to him. That woman that thinks common core is good...you do not know anything about this...do you have children... I bet you dont.

Great home brew store. Prices are better than any of the others in Columbus. Their stock gets bigger each time Im in there. The owner is friendly and loves home brewing. I sent my wife in for some yeast once and the owner gave her his number and said if I had any questions when Im brewing I should call him. Cant get that kind of service anywhere else! This is where I go for all of my brewing supplies now.

I went into the store today to make a purchase. Not only did he treat his employee poorly & demeaned him in front of me, he insulted the product I purchased elsewhere. Called it a POS to my face. There are many other places I can shop & will from now on. Very unprofessional & shameful. All I have to say is Amazon prime!

Buckeye Brewcraft is the cream of the crop when it comes to a local business and doing what they do - supply homebrewers and winemakers. They are also the best in the business helping those who are new to homebrewing become educated in the craft. They have the best variety of ingredients and equipment in the area. Also ask about the plethora of classes they hold to help you become a better brewer or vintner. I would rate them a 10 star out of 5 if Google allowed extra credit.
