Greetings!

Post by windsorhomebrewsupplyco »

Hi Guys and Gals,
Scott Windsor here. It was great meeting some of you the other night at the home brewers conference. I'm sorry I had to head out yesterday afternoon before club night. I was looking forward to trying your beers but had to get back to take care of some of the last minute details at the shop. Our grand opening is this Tuesday so anytime you guys need a place to meet or want to have a small tasting I am happy to help out. Feel free to come in anytime or shoot me a message. I look forward to getting to know you guys better. Contact and info below

Cheers!
Scott

Yeah, looking forward to checking it out. I work nearby, so the ability to pick things up during lunch would be really useful...

Anything that you're doing differently in your business to set you apart from other area shops?

Everything except Blichman products. Sorry they don't let me. I look forward to getting your feedback on the shop. I am always open to suggestions.

Sorry I missed the earlier question on how I feel my store differs from other stores. You want the long version or the short version?! :)

I previously co owned 2 stores in the midwest the past six years so first, I feel like I have the experience running a shop. My top priority is customer service and making sure a customer feels welcome and comfortable in the shop. I have been to so many stores around the country where the employees are rude or just don't care. This has never made sense to me. It is just good business to take care of the customer but also for me personally I will lose sleep if I know a customer had a bad experience in my shop. But I digress....

I carry all of the ss fittings and parts, kegging supplies that a lot of shops don't have in store. As of today I will be filling Co2. I carry Wyeast something that I don't see all shops stocking. I also try to stay very competitive on price. I monitor what the big stores are selling items for and try to stay relevant with that.

If you have questions please feel free to contact me. Please stop in even if you don't need anything. I always love chatting with fellow beer lovers. Cheers

Has anyone visited Scott's store yet?
Been there twice and really like that he is 1) Close to my home, 2) Very competitive prices, 3) Great selection of hardware, 4) Friendly
If you have not stopped in yet, do so. I am building a keezer and needed Perlick faucets, stainless shanks etc. and so glad I did not have to order online and wait...or drive 45 miles each way to pick them up
Scott has also offered to open his store for one of our monthly meetings

I was there on Saturday. I let Scott know how impressed I was at the level of stock/items that he was carrying. While not a huge space, he packs a lot of equipment and supplies in there. It's really great to have a shop like this that is local.

Also FYI to everyone - Scott is giving (paid) Brewcommune members 10% off on all purchases. Just let him know who you are and he will verify your membership from our list.

Gotta add my "Very Positive" 2 cents.
I stopped by yesterday and like all the posts above found Windsor to be clean, well organized and very well stocked. Scott knows his stuff! The hardware is high quality and the Grains, hops and yeast are all fresh. I was like a kid in a candy store! Kegs, Kettles, Controllers, CO2 bottles big and small. Also, all the little washers,fittings and things you don't know you need... until you do.
After picking out a few items (restraint was needed) we finished up talking beer, breweries and brewing. Great LHBS! Welcome and I will be back,
Cheers!

I stopped by Windsor before Tuesday's club meeting at Barley Forge - really enjoyed chatting with Scott and found his store to be extremely clean and well organized with good materials. Looking forward to having a local shop finally! It also makes me happy it is someone from the midwest... even if it is oklahoma ;)

Great meeting you at the Club Meeting too Scott.
