Good home brew shop?

[StevieDS]

Me and a mate are heading to the spring thing on Friday, from northern Ireland. There is a severe lack of home brew shops this side of the water so we thought while we were on the mainland we would take the opportunity to try and find one. We are heading from cairnryan so traveling down the m6, does anybody know of any shops that aren't too far from our route?

Runcorn has the largest homebrew shop in the northwest http://www.homebrewsupermarket.com/

He stocks more then what he has on the website

Leyland homebrew is fairly close to the M6

Excellent. Excuse my ignorance of English geography but how far off the m6 is runcorn?
The one in Leyland looks pretty close.

 

[awl23]

if you come off the m6 at junction 20 its about 10 mins away

Nice one, to Runcorn it is then! :thumb:

Leyland is less than 5 minutes though

Whats the shop like, though? We'll prob only have time for one so wanna make it a good one :)

It's only small but well stocked and they have been going for over 40 years. Joe is very knowledgable and helpful as are all the other staff i have encountered. The only thing that lets it down IMO is their website. Oh and they sell the mini keg systems too.

I agree that runcorn is a great shop i use it all the time speak to martin the owner tell him the ibiza chef sent you lol. It's easier to get there if you come off the m56 at jct12 follow for the bridge then follow signs for picow farm rd dead easy to get to that way and like awl23 said only 10 mins from the m6. :thumb:
