I didn't expect that the store would have a salesman. I felt a little bit judged because he caught me off guard.... so much that I stuttered and forgot the name of the only batch of wine I ever made, which was a Washington Merlot. I couldn't think of the name of it because I was having a bit of a panic attack.... and then I felt as though the salesman thought I was mentally challenged and poor.5 stars, though, because that was my own problem. The store was fabulous.

Horrible! Order arrived on time, but 1 of 4 kegs was damaged & unusable. I've emailed twice, no response, called several times, can't get through and texted several times. Nothing...

This is the go-to place for all of your beer and winemaking supplies. They have easily the largest supply of grains, hops and yeast in MN. Over the past 4 years I have found their staff to be extremely helpful and knowledgeable, offering substitution suggestions in the rare case they are out of stock of something. They have a wide variety of brewing supplies regardless of whether your setup is just starting out to semi-pro. Sign up for their email to get announcements about great sales and special events like the annual MN orchard cider delivery. Go to Midwest and brew some really great beer!

The soda syrup they sell is almost like water. I'm having to actually boil down the liquid so that I can actually make it into syrup thats useable. I emailed them at which point they basically told me I'm doing it wrong. I would keep looking if you're considering buying from them as it looks like they have no real return policy for items that are not as described. All you need to do is look up the reivews they have from either the bb, yelp or resellerratings. They have a review process on their website but stop any reviews that are bad. This is how they stay in business.Edit 3/5/23: They got back to me today shortly after leaving this review and did issue me a refund. I have added two stars for the customer service.

This was a horrid experience. I ordered soda syrup from them which turned out to be mostly water. Then, when I contacted them about it, they basically told me I was doing it wrong. In order to make the syrup useable, I'm having to boil it down since they have no return policy they actually keep up with. The syrup I'm left with is 1/3rd of what I should have out of a gallon jug. So I paid way more money than if I would've just made it from scratch myself. Terrible customer service. Will never buy from them again. Not only this but they delete the bad reviews from their website. These people have horrible business practices and even worse customer service. I started with the soda syrup so I could judge their services before I started ordering wine parts from them. Suffice to say, they will not be getting any more of my business.Edit 3/5/23: Update. Refund was issued shortly after reviewing. Two stars were added for customer service.

A great home brew supply store. Been using them for over a year now and the staff is always helpful. Tons of ingredients always is stock. Used their online support tool due to a recent over charge for two yeast packets versus one. Mike from Midwest got back to me quickly and resolved the issue so I decided it was worth the time to post this review. Highly recommend.

Can’t immediately answer a simple question on if they carry rennet. So can’t immediately give them anymore stars than one. Fix your summer service contacts. Slow response through texting and emails is BS.Also prices are generally higher than ANYWHERE else.

Lost My business at first phone call. Can't even ask a simple question w out having to visit a website or text. Great customer service. Why even have a phone number .

I bought a beer brewing kit from a place called Flippin hippie in Harrison Arkansas. My kit came with two buckets with holes in them and only one spicket. It came with a bottle Capper and caps but no bottles. I feel like I got jerked around and they wouldn't make it good when I went back and talked to them about it. So now I'm at word-of-mouth advertising for them has shut that Branch down. And if you still Supply them in Flippin I hope you drop them they're not good business people in my opinion thank you

Great people on staff. They have a huge inventory onsite. This is the place to go for bulk grain! They often have Northern ****** products available but at a better price than on the ** website.

I ordered the 423$ electric brew and share kit and only received the electric kettle and chiller. You cant actually talk with someone you have to text or email them. So far not a good experience!! I will update if they ever answer my text message.

No longer sells cheese making supplies. Amused by the other reviews complaining of no phone service.

Ordered six days ago. Order still unfulfilled, no delivery date, not even a shipping date yet. I do however see the charge on my credit card.Reached out a couple of times trying to get an update, but no way to reach a human, just auto responses that they will get back to me "soon".I'd expeted the servicve here to be relatively similar to Northern Brewer, since the companies are related, but so far MS is far worse.Only gave them a try becuase of a discount code. At this rate, I'm never ordering from them again and debating cancelling the order I did place.

Great place for any and all brewing needs. An interested individual in the brewing or growing arts can easily spend a good amount of time here exploring the wares. Also they have grains that you can mill or weigh for your brewing needs.
