Great service and advice on brewing mead. Very helpful.
Great selection of equipment and ingredients. Online ordering is a breeze and they always have my stuff prepared ahead of time - Ive never had to wait or received incorrect items. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Excellent home brew shop!
Super helpful and great people. Thank you for all your help.
This is a fantastic store, if youre looking to get into-or just need supplies because youre already a brewer or a winemaker. Barron is super helpful, their website is great, and theyre super attentive to email. Great store!!!
Great Local shop! Drove up from Fort McCoy to get some supplies. Really helpful and got me squared away!

Very knowledgeable staff, didnt get the young mans name but he had an in depth answer to every one of my questions. Will definitely be returning!
I dont come here often enough but the gentleman who works here gives the best advice if you are a novice in brewing. And if you need something specific for your batch they usually have it too.
Just getting started with doing homebrew The gentleman at Hoggetowne Ale Works I was very professional and helped me to pick out the great ingredients to make a perfect batch and home brewed beer I cant wait to try it
I am new to brewing and these guys were awesome, so helpful and honest. You get to talking to them and forget to leave cause they are a group of great brewers with tons of knowledge. I would recommend this shop to anyone who would like to start brewing, and they are affordable with just about everything you need. They were willing to special order stuff as well. great place.
Awesome place, very knowledgeable staff. These guys are more than willing to help with your brewing project.
Owner was very helpful And knowledgeable. I will return.
Helpful to newcomers
Great place!
The staff is very helpful and this is a perfect resource if youre brand new to home brewing or an expert. The alternative is ordering equipment and ingredients online but supporting a local business and being able to see/smell/taste what youre buying is the huge advantage. Reasonable prices as well.
One of the best places to go for all your wine and beer brewing needs and the people that work there are great
Theyve had everything Ive ever needed. Staff is consistently knowledgeable and helpful for all skill levels. Thanks guys!
They always have everything I need, and are knowledgeable when I need to chat about brew issues.
Great bunch of folks who enjoy what they do while providing friendly and knowledgeable service.
Very experienced competitive prices and good customer service
What is not to love. These people are experts on home brewing. They walk the walk and talk the talk. I rely on them for all of my brewing needs. They dont make you feel stupid because you dont know something. They help walk you through and explain the what and whys of equipment and ingredients. Do yourself a favor and stop by and say Hi. Youll see what I mean.
I drive from Ocala which is about 45 miles away. I go about once every 3-4 months depending on the frequency of my brewing and stock up. This store is magnificent and they carry a variety of ingredients and equipment for many brewers (wine, beer, mead, cider etc). The staff is always friendly and very helpful. I greatly appreciate them which is why I try and purchase local vs online from another company in another state.
Stopped by to get some supplies on the way home. Didnt have that local only kind of vibe. Very nice guys. If Im ever in the area Ill def stop by again.
Awesome store. Has way more stuff than you would think from the website. Extremely friendly and helpful staff.
Only home brew shop in town, but it is a great one compared to other cities. Friendly and knowledgeable staff! Competitive prices with a cash discount.
Super helpful and friendly staff. I went in a little underprepared for a new recipe, and they helped me work out everything I needed to get brewing! Highly recommended.
Being new to home brewing I was a little worried I would be over my head when i went in. Danny put me at ease right away! He was very helpful and made some great suggestions for me with my brewing. I wil absolutely be back and do business with these guys! Thanks very much! Iβll bring my beer by soon, hopefully itβll turn out ok;)
Knew a lot about brewing and answered all my questions I would definitely go there again
This place is AWESOME!! From beginner to master Brewer, they have almost everything youve ever wanted for brewing your own beverage!
Great place with most anything you need for home brewing or wine making.
This is truly your local homebrew shop. They have almost everything you could possibly need with a wide variety of very fresh ingredients.
Great selection of items and the only place Ive found with Scott Labs products.
These guys are very knowledgeable about about anything beer and wine and have a pretty great selection in store! Highly recommended for new and seasoned brewers.
Great place for supplies and advice. Nice people.
Got your homebrew needs covered
Ive been buying all my homebrew supplies from Hoggetowne for years. The customer service is phenomenal. Danny and Chris H are always super helpful and eager to give advice and share their vast knowledge and experience. The prices are reasonable and the selection is great. I love the fact that I can go into the grain room and pull all my own grains without someone hovering over my shoulder. If youre debating buying your equipment/grains off the internet make the responsible choice to support local business. The customer service alone makes it worth buying local.
They have everything you need to create your own alcoholic beverage!
Great place, staff was very helpful, everything you need
The perfect place to go if you want to start brewing your own fermented drinks.
Very helpful employees and awesome samples of finished product. We tried the love bug blonde ale and it was amazing! My wife loved it (which makes it easier to convince her that I need a Homebrew kit). They have all of the equipment, ingredients, and knowledge to help you succeed in Homebrew. I have to wait a few weeks to buy my kit but I cant wait! I will be getting everything from Hoggtowne ale works.
Great place to get ingredients and assistance with recipes. Friendly staff and knowledgeable.
Friendly staff always willing to help refine a recipe, give instructions, or suggestions. Great variety and stock of supplies for brewing, kegging, bottling, and accessories.
Everything Ive needed for making wine thus far (except the fruit), and their prices almost always beat what you can find online. Also, the staff is a bunch of friendly, knowledgeable brew nerds that are happy to answer questions and spitball ideas with you.
