we only have two LHBS's in the traverse City area. One is the back part of a hat store with a little more wine making stuff than brew stuff. I used to get the majority of my stuff there since the other is a liquor store that used to have limited quantities. Until I started coming in. I think ive been the best customer lately. And they havnt jacked theyre hop prices yet either.
I went into them a couple days ago and did a good size bulk barley order. He only had the 07 price list but said since i was a loyal customer, he would give me the last years prices. As in what he was buying them for, but instead of marking up 50%, only 15%. Great guy, even better deals cut for me. Ive got a little over 350 lbs coming of assorted barley and grains.
Now i just have to get him to supply liquid yeast instead of just the basic muntons or coopers brewers yeast. Either way he's my favorite dealer.
Not to mention i just placed a good sized order through B3 for a bunch of specialty grains and yeast. I should be set for a while-Brew strong-Crut
