Hop & Grape in Darlington

[Pavros]

£4.95 standard delivery - I can live with that. https://www.hopandgrape.co.uk/shipping

I'm not sure if that page has been updated or not as it mentions a 'click and collect' service from the shop further down the page but the shop is still closed as far as I'm aware. If it is £4.95, then that seems good value.

I'd better email to check....

According to the thread on JBK, the shop is closed for good, but the web presence has been taken over by the same people as the Jolly Brewer, as you said Pavros. So, not much good for me as they are Stoke based! I'm doing a 'use stuff up' brew next, then I'm going to give Malt Miller a go.

I found the Malt Miller site a bit confusing. Feeling my age a bit.

OK - had a quick look tonight after a prompt via facebook.

Looks like they aren't selling grain at all, either in kit or bagged form.

Maybe a transition thing. Seem to be doing extracts and kits - plus equipment.

Wishing the new operators well.

Yes, Patsy & John Braithwaite, I remember them well, I used to order from them back in 1979 when they first started, I spoke with John on the phone then, he would do hops by the quarter ounce if you asked him, great guy. They retired in 2013.

Homebrewlife on ebay is the place to buy from, check it out.

I generally use this place in Middlesbrough, in North Ormesby.

Don't know about grains etc as I am a wine/cider guy, not brews. Been there forever, and, although she can talk the hind legs off a donkey, the lady in there is wonderful.

Yes she is a great lady, unfortunately she doesn't do grains just kits

I was in lunchtime today and there are bags of grains, hops and Crystal, whatever that is,

They've started a range of grains via the website too.
