Wine Craft only has a limited homebrewing selection since their focus is on wine. They do have some homebrewing supplies available, especially since a lot of the equipment needed to make wine can also be used in making beer. Interestingly, Wine Craft will allow you to make wine right in the store. Unfortunately, a brew-on-premise for beer is illegal in this state, according to the store’s owner.
