Their shop has been mentioned in the forum many times and always with good reviews fingers crossed someone will buy it.

I used it a few times when I was back up north. It's the only physical HB shop I've ever been in, actually - it was very handy and they knew what they were talking about, sad to see it go.

Very sad to hear that, especially if the shop is going to close. I used to live in Lancaster, but a lot of my work was in Wales. It was a very regular event for me to pull off the motorway & top up with everything I needed. For the last 10 years I've pretty much had to rely on internet shopping (no HB shops on the Isle of Skye when I lived there, and nowhere within easy reach of the Galloway Forest Park), but I do miss the personal touch.

Yeah, I read that too. They have both been awesome over the years.
90% of my purchases over the years have been with them, due to their excellent support and advice.
They will be sorely missed.
I need to find an online source now.

They were open today, but had to queue for around an hour to get in as it was 2 at a time.
They will only be open on Saturday’s until around September time as they clear out all their stock.
We came out £250 quid lighter, and I bought more yeast than I know what to do with.
Will be sad to see them close as they have always been very helpful.

Always sad to see a proper HB shop closing.
Seems most people are shopping online these days...

Agreed. I swung by Berkshire Homebrew recently to find it all boarded up - a very sorry sight. That was my go-to before my 2 year hiatus. Not sure how long it's been closed. The website is still online so it must have been within the last year I suspect.
