The Brewmeister

The weekend is almost here! What are you brewing? Come visit us at either of our locations in West Sacramento or in Folsom right across the street from Red Bus brewing. Cheers!

As some of you may already know, we’ve moved the Folsom store... across the street. We are now located at 805 Reading street! Just past the veterinarian. We are the second roll-up door on the left, look for the brewmeister sign!

Fellow Brewmeisters: As of this coming Sunday, June 14, the Brewmeister, Roseville location will be closing permanently. Increasing rents, less brick and mortar traffic and lots of other factors played into the decision. It is just time. We apologize to our loyal customers in Placer County, this location is just not sustainable any longer. About the same time, the Folsom location will be moving across the street to 805 Reading Street, Unit B. This will allow us to spread out both the home brew store and brewery here in Folsom. Stay tuned for updates. Cheers, The Brewmeister.

Hey folks! Last year Steve Barad, a friend of Red Bus, donated Cascade and Chinook hops that Red Bus used in their Autumn IPA. This year he's looking to host any interested parties at his hop field to help string up twine and learn about growing hops! Steve has approximately 3/4 of an acre and is looking to have the field strung by this weekend. If you're interested, let us know in the comments below and we'll message you his number. Cheers!

Congratulations to our hop raffle winners! Melissa Conners (Cascade 8oz), Amber DiBernardo (Cascade 8oz), Trevor Chickosky (Centennial 8oz), Bryan Van Winkle (Centennial 8oz), David Synder (Columbus 8oz), Josh Young (Hallertau Hersbrucker 8oz), and Wayne Porterfield (Magnum 8oz). Thank you to all our participants. If you didn't win this raffle, don't fret; we're doing another raffle to celebrate the addition of two of our favorite Recipe kits! Our best seller Belgian Wit kit..., and our new Clone kit in collaboration with Red Bus Brewing Company; our new Vanilla Night Sky kit. Vanilla Night Sky is a sweet stout with vanilla, cocoa nibs, sea salt, and lactose. It is a crowd favorite at Red Bus, and will soon go into their canning rotation! Entering this raffle is similar to the last, comment below your favorite style to brew, and we'll enter you into the raffle to win one of these cool kits. These kits can be made as either Extract or All-Grain kits, winner gets to choose which type they'd like. Good Luck!

Thank you so much to all our customers right now doing their best to support us. Time for us to return the favor. We’re raffling off a few 8oz packs each of Centennial, Cascade, Columbus (CTZ), Hersbrucker, and Magnum hops. All you have to do is comment below the last beer you brewed, or beer you’re planning on brewing to enter the raffle! We’ll randomly pull names out of a hat to pick winners. Raffle will be drawn on 4/18 (this Saturday) so enter while you can! We’ll notify winners via FB messenger, so keep an eye out on Saturday.

Happy Monday! Some stores may be experiencing extending processing times for In-Store pickups at this time. This is due to the popularity of the kit sale and our closure for the holiday yesterday. Thank you for your patience and support during this time!

Hey folks, we're still open for business! We want to say thank you so much to our online and in-store customers that have been constantly either on our website ordering, or in-store. We're extremely thankful to have such a strong and loyal customer base to make sure we're making through this rough time. We've receive a massive surge in online orders the last two weeks, and for that THANK YOU to everyone. Stay tuned, tomorrow we're starting a DEAL OF THE WEEK, which will be a discount on either a particular item or collection of items.

Reminding all our friends and fellow homebrewers that we're open today for those stuck at home! If you're cooped and going a little stir-crazy, come grab some supplies and brew!

GOOD NEWS We received further clarification from the California Department of Health; beer is considered a food item, including its ingredients. As such brewmeister is considered a food-retail store and can remain OPEN! We will be opening all three stores today! We will be open our normal hours of 12-6pm, and plan to remain open throughout the week if possible. We in the meantime are instituting a policy of one customer in the store at one time to maintain the social distancing requirements. Thank you for your continued support and let us know if you have any questions! Cheers! PS, those heading to the Roseville store today, please call ahead. We’ve had to scramble to get employees into the store in short notice, the staff member may not get there right at 12.

Fellow Home Brewers: The Bay Area counties just went to home shelter for 3 weeks starting tomorrow. Would not be surprised if Yolo, Sac, Placer and surrounding do the same very soon. In that case, The Brewmeister stores would most likely have to be closed. If you would like to brew during your extended staycation, today and tomorrow *might be* your last chance to grab some supplies for a while locally.

Attention Homebrewers: The Brewmeister is currently monitoring the corona virus situation. At this point and considering the low impact and few customers in the stores at any given time, all three Brewmeister locations will continue to be open regular business hours. We will be paying extra attention to disinfecting shared surfaces like counters, credit card machines, etc. Unless we experience serious supply chain issues or are mandated to close, we expect the shops to st...ay open. We have also ordered extra ingredients this week, as we know many of you will be home for extended periods of time and might want something to do! Please stay safe and do what you can to limit the spread of this virus. Cheers, Erik Schmid Owner, The Brewmeister

Gonna miss these two...
