The shop won’t just be for beer lovers, either. SoCo Homebrew will have a main supply area, a 450-square foot grain room where customers can measure out how much they need, and a warehouse carrying brewing equipment and miscellaneous items. And if they’re lacking something a homebrewer needs, they’re going to find a way to get it. Butler said suppliers told them they purchased well over the amount of homebrew supplies of a typical first order, but it’s important to them to keep the shop well-stocked (if not overstocked, Butler said) at all times.

The old office space they’ve converted into a store is 2,400 square feet, which means plenty of room for any type of DIY beer-making ingredients and equipment imaginable. But for people south of the river, (SoCo Homebrew) is going to be more in their neighborhood.” ![]() “It’s a great place to go as an advanced homebrewer or a novice one. “It’s excellent,” Butler said about Austin Homebrew. ![]() Butler, after all, lives in Kyle, so if he’s about to brew a new beer, he’s got a drive ahead of him to either a store in San Antonio or Austin Homebrew Supply in North Austin, just off U.S. Homebrewers themselves, they noticed that South Austin lacked a store where they could go for hops and yeast, brewing equipment and brewing advice and decided in November of last year that it was high time for one. At least that’s what Joseph Butler, Mike Campbell and Chris Ellison have been noticing - and they have plans well in the works to fuel that interest.īy the first week of August, the entrepreneurs’ SoCo Homebrew shop should be opened on South Congress Avenue, not far from Hill’s Cafe. As Austinites’ thirst for local beer only seems to increase, so does their interest in making it themselves.
