It is with a heavy heart we’ve made the decision to close the Home Brew Shop permanently.
We would like to thank everyone for the decades of love and support.

The Chico Home Brew Shop proudly served Northern California brewers and vintners for over 3 decades, but sadly decided to close the store front permanently!
