The other two stores are newer and still learning and lacking in a lot of the above mentioned items but I'm sure they will figure it out as they grow. They offer classes, brew days, events, give discounts to AHA/Club members, knowledgeable staff, serve samples and have lots of Brewer's best kits for those interested in getting started. Great supply of brewing equipment and keg supplies from used kegs to all the hardware, replacement parts, o-rings, etc as well as all the generally required necessities.
