Forever Homebrewing

Forever Homebrewing: NYC’s local homebrew supply shop in Brooklyn

Forever Homebrewing is a Brooklyn-based homebrewing supply shop built for people who want to make better beer at home and have a reliable, local place to buy ingredients, gear, and CO₂. It positions itself as New York City’s only brick-and-mortar homebrew shop, with a community-first focus that is rooted in “homebrewers helping homebrewers.”

What they sell

Forever Homebrewing carries the core building blocks for brewing and fermentation, plus the practical equipment that makes homebrew day smoother and more repeatable. Product categories include:

• Ingredients: base malts, specialty malts, malt extracts, hops, liquid yeast, dry yeast, and sugars

• Adjuncts and process aids: spices and fruits, salts and acids, fining agents, and yeast nutrient

• Equipment: brewing hardware, bottling equipment, kegging equipment, fittings and hardware, and new-brewer equipment kits

• Cleaning and sanitation: cleaners and sanitizers

• More fermentation options: seltzer supplies, winemaking items, and a section for used equipment and books

• Recipe kits: shop recipe kits (including extract and all-grain) plus kits tied to their learn-to-brew classes

Beyond simply selling ingredients, the shop emphasizes guidance, including recipe ideas and practical help choosing the right approach for a brewer’s skill level and setup.

Classes and community

The business is run by Rob Jenkins and Matt Land, and they also host learn-to-brew experiences that teach both small-batch extract brewing and 5-gallon BIAB techniques. Rob is described as an award-winning homebrewer and a Beer Judge Certification Program-certified judge, and Matt is positioned as a longtime homebrewer and fermentation expert.
They also collaborate with local brewing community groups such as Brewstoria and have hosted events at breweries like Fifth Hammer Brewing Company.

How customers buy: in-store, pickup, local delivery, shipping

For customers who want local convenience, Forever Homebrewing supports multiple ways to get supplies: in-store shopping, online ordering with pickup, same-day local delivery to most residents of Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan on weekdays (with a noon cutoff for same-day), plus UPS shipping on weekday orders.

Location and practical details

The shop is located at 1000 Dean Street, Suite 234 in Crown Heights, within New York City, and can be reached by phone/text at 347-338-0091. Hours are posted with a general weekly schedule, and customers may need to call for building access during certain times.

Bottom line: Forever Homebrewing is a neighborhood-focused supply shop for homebrewers and fermentation hobbyists who want fresh ingredients, solid equipment options, and real guidance from people who brew, judge, and teach. It is especially useful for NYC-area brewers who prefer quick pickup or local delivery over waiting on shipments, while still offering UPS shipping for broader reach.
