I love San Fransisco Brewcraft! A great selection of local (Admiral Malting) to Imported malts from Crisp, BSG, Weyerman and more. Dried and fresh Brewers yeast, hops from all over the global, equipment and other ingredients are available to home brew beer, wine, cider or make your own homemade sodas or cordials. Helpful and knowledgeable staff can help you design a recipe, offer tips, suggestions on beers you’ve brewed and how to fix them. This shop has charm, books to expand your knowledge, and ingredients to make almost any beer style.

So excited for them to be open again, even if just Saturday for now. Nicely stocked w hops and malts. Always great brewing advice.

As a home brew person, I love this place. I love to support local and they do a fantastic job at assisting ad creating custom brews to make at home. I love the hometown feel and friendly staff. A great place to get supplies and I cannot rave enough about them

The staff has a great knowledge base for brewing. They have a wide selection of popular grains and specialty grains are also available. It is a small store but they are able to provide a great selection of brewing supplies and equipment. Super friendly and a fun trip when the brewing bug bites.

Excellent place to go for all home brewing needs. The staff is quite friendly and is more than happy to help you get started, or give advice about fine tuning a recipe.

Home brewing in San Francisco. I guess this is the place. I feel there is a lot of history here. Immediately saw rows of dry ingredients and a fridge full of yeasts. I have been in bigger brew shops, but this little place seemed to have the essentials for beer brewing and then some. If you are looking for something special, call and be sure it’s in stock. I needed lactic acid. They had it. They have a binder full of normal to exotic recipes to try out.

If you live nearby, I can understand the benefits of popping over to grab something. But every time I head to Brewcraft to stock up for a weekend brew (make sure to not go at opening since theyre sometimes late to open), an ingredient that Im looking for is out of stock. The staff has been helpful suggesting alternatives but they often involve changing my recipe.Ive also had difficulty getting equipment there due to their very limited selection and stock. I asked if they could order something in for me, even if I was willing to pay for shipping and they refused!Im all for supporting local and independent businesses but its been hard to be satisfied with what Brewcraft is offering.

This place is nothing short of fantastic. Its been around for a long time and has that local/neighborhood feel about it. The inventory is probably the best in and near San Francisco. The staff are nothing short of spectacular. Always friendly and helpful. If youre looking for brewing supplies or are looking to get into homebrewing, THIS is the place to go!

I came in looking to fulfill a very standard recipe and had to make substitution after substitution because EVERY crystal malt from 20L to 80L was out of stock, the hop collection was measly, and the yeast stock was no better. I even had to get a different DME because the most standard variety was...unsurprisingly...also out of stock. The clerk was terse, rude, and utterly indifferent to my presence. He was great at finding substitutions for my recipe, and has probably had plenty of practise at doing so, judging by his shop.Convenience is the only plus here, seeing as there doesnt seem to be any other comparably useful brew shop in the City proper.

Truly a living gem in the City. If you want to learn to make beer, this place is your first stop. Been coming here for close to five years at this point and they are yet to let me down when looking for a recipe suggestion for my random brew ideas. Not to mention, their always stocked on any ingredients or odd-end pieces of equipment you need for your next under taking. If you have the time, get to know the staff. Theyre an incredible wealth of knowledge and a lot more educational than a random internet forum.

This place has all of the components you need to make excellent beer. Great hops and yeast, malt extract (if you go that way), instructions, bottles, and all the other items you may need. Books on brewing and Zymurgy magazine are also available. Books by Brewers Publications are also available.

These guys know whats up.They may be light on stock on times (especially last Friday when I went - they said they were restocking Saturday morning) - but the advice Ive gotten on brewing from the guys working there has been spot on each time.

Great spot. These guys and gals really know their beer. Always happy to help out. If youre interested in brewing, check em out!

After not being able to find what brewing supplies I needed anywhere in the city, I tried this place, explained what I wanted to the helpful staff and came out with all of it. Could not have asked for more.

I could chat these guys ears off all day. The entire staff knows their beer! They are all friendly. This store has everything you need from beginners to experts in home-brewing supplies! They mix recipes for you on site, and have a great supply of hardware. Check out San Francisco Brewcraft!Jonnie

Very friendly and knowledgeable. Answered all my questions. I will be buying my first brew kit here shortly.

What a brew craft should be (IMO)Knowledgeable staffSmell of ingredients filling the airA bunch of brewers and want to be brewers filing in and outCentrally locatedDont have a recipe? I just tell them what I am in the mood for, a little of this, a little more of that, take it home and its yet another unique brew.

This is the think tank of brewing in SF. Old school in all the best ways. Go there, smell the grains, ask tons of questions, and learn from the Masters.

I after using homebrew stores in Boston and NC, this store is very lackluster. Sure, the prices are higher, but that was to be expected. The hops selection was abysmal unless you are looking to make a German/British style beer. There was no Citra or Mosaic and only about 12 varietals total. The grain selection is fine and the guy is friendly. May return, but only to get grain without having to order in bulk.

Super helpful advice and lots of fresh ingredients

These guys know there stuff. To be successful here I find that I have to know exactly what I want. I am used to walking in and just grabbing a preassembled kit, because I am such an infrequent brewer. So come prepared with your recipe.

Helpful and informative staff, perfect selection for the Belgian Ale I’m brewing, awesome music

This place has it all. Beer, wine, kombucha... These guys can get you started with all of it. Incredibly knowledgeable staff and a very extensive stock of equipment and supplies.

Best family run local shop ever! Been coming here for 6 years. Always have a good experience.

Extremely helpful staff. If youve never brewed beer before and are looking to get into it, dont go anywhere but here

Knowledgeable staff. Good folks and they have brew classes (hands on).

If youve ever wanted to homebrew, dont even think of starting anywhere else. Theyll get you set up. Brewing is way easier than I ever thought -- cant believe I waited so long to start.

One of my favorite spots in SF, they have been a huge help in all of my crazy brewing projects and Grizs spirit lives on in the joint.

Great selection & a very helpful/friendly staff (they even helped me out 15 minutes past closing time!)

Came here to buy yeast an hour before closing but they apparently closed early. Not gonna bother again if their listed hours are lies. Such a waste.

Convenient and they stay open at least an hour later than everyone else on a Sunday.

Great brewing supplies shop! This is a local gem and the staff is always helpful.

If you inspire to make great beer the guys at Brewcraft will make your jurney to brew master a breeze!

Great staff and good selection

Great ingredients, great service. Support your local homebrew shop!

Good experience but they were seriously lacking in the yeast selection on this visit.

San Francisco homebrewers, this is it. In fact, if you already homebrew and live in San Francisco, you already know this is the only game in town.So its a great thing its also one of the best hobby stores around. Everyone who works at Brewcraft has been extremely knowledgable in the dozen or so times I have been in to fill up on mash syrup, grain, bottlecaps, hops, cleaning supplies and all the supplies needed for brewing a batch of your favorite suds.Now if only I could remember to bring my mash syrup buckets back for the refund: there are four in my closet.

Amazing selection, everything you need for home brewing

Cool brewshop in SF!

Staff is very nice and helpful

SF is lucky to have this place.

Very knowledgeable

Intelligent and friendly folks!

Great selection of brewery supplies

Some have said their selection is weak but I found everything I was looking for.

Its the only game in town...you gotta support them

Nice folks

Small store with everything you need and friendly help.

Helpful staff

All the supplies you need.

You want to make your beer ??? So do not hesitate go there !!! Boss super nice and gives good advice

Friendly service however the amount of inputs to produce beers left to be desired.
