Brew & Wine Hobby is Connecticut's oldest home brewing and wine making shop, located in East Hartford CT for over 40 years. Their products range from ingredients for beer (hops, barley, yeast) to kits (with instructions); from WinExpert and RJ Spagnol's wine kits to Kamil juices (winery made European juices). They carry all the essential needs (and then some) for equipment. They've got a great staff, too. Thad has been brewing for 20 years and teaches our brewing classes and also handles the daily operations of the store throughout the week. Pat has been brewing for over a year year, and he's become very knowledgeable in that time and is also available most days of the week. Chad comes in part time, but that doesn't mean he can't answer almost any question -- that's what they're all here for: you enjoying the hobby better!
THE story
Rich and Bill have owned the store for five years, Rich has been working for the store for seven. While it had some ups and downs in those first year or two, the past few years have seen tremendous growth. We moved to 12 Cedar St. from the old Pitkin St. store a little over two and a half years ago (writing this in July of 2015). The expansion has been huge. It has allowed us to offer interactive classes, far more grain options, and a larger stock of wine juices... so much more still to come.
We’re always looking for talented writers, photographers and freelancers to join the team. Tell us a little more about you and we’ll get back to you asap.
🍻 Join us for the 10th Annual 'Ok2berfest' at Two Roads Brewing Co. on September 16-17.
