"Spontaneous fermentation”sounds like something terrible that would show up in an online dating profile. But spontaneous fermentation, unlike the world of online dating, is something you should understand because the coolest beers, ciders, wines, and liquors right now are being made through this process, delivering unexpected flavors that range from ripe raspberries to fresh cane sugar to tart lemon to the juiciest of melons. It's the result of a brewer, winemaker, or distiller leaving the inoculation (the moment when yeast and bacteria come in contact with the liquid) up to whatever organisms happen to be in the air or on the fruit that they are fermenting. This is different from the process of most mass-produced booze, where industrialized, controlled yeast strains or blends are deliberately poured into a sugary liquid. Brewers don’t know exactlywhat’sending up in the beer or wine or cider. All they know is that the fermentation will be, as advertised, spontaneous.—Alex Delany, associate editorRead the full story here." - ByThe Bon Appétit Staff

I purchased cheese making supplies for a friend’s housewarming. The Beverage People’s website was easy to navigate and I was able to put together a starter kit for her that had everything she needs to get started. The items are affordable and good quality. She has always wanted to make her own cheese can’t wait to get started!

Hi. Love you guys and your knowledge and how generous you are with it! I just reordered some bottles to finish a bottling project and got a completely different bottle from the ones I ordered for this vintage a couple months ago. Can I exchange the green bottles for the brown?

I have been making wine for 23 years with TBP as the prime resource for ingredients, equipment and process knowledge. They are the best in the North Coast and with on line ordering they offer products, equipment and class instruction at financially attractive prices. Very knowledgeable and plenty of specific instructions for various wine, beer and other home making activities.

Returning to brewing after some extended lapses, it is always a pleasure to have a local supply shop. Beverage People do a great job fulfilling orders and are very helpful should a question arise. As a customer since the early 90s I have seen a few changes there, in ownership and locations but certainly the service and knowledge of fermentation are unchanged and top notch.

Stopped by for the first time to pickup my online order and was impressed by the attentiveness and knowledge of people in the store. After talking to (Gabriel?) I changed my order (less expensive recommendation for my Zinfandel) no problem! Would recommended this place!

I like the convenience of making an order online and picking it up in person. It is also nice they allow ordering grains online in 1 oz increments. Most places do not offer grains in less than 1 lb increments if you order online.

Gabriel and Jane Rock. They seem never to busy to help or give advice personally and individually. They make you feel as if you are the only customer there, until your needs are met.Prices are competitive and sometimes a free cork gets thrown in.. LOL. It's their personal attention that keep me coming back.
