Review from Mark R.

Attended a beginners home brew class here instructed by Professor Tom and Dr. J.P. These guys did a great job of not only explaining the initial process, but demonstrating that there's an instant camaraderie between people who have an interest in this hobby. It truly felt that they were genuinely happy to share their knowledge and welcomed any and all questions. Plus, they shared some excellent home brew with the class.
As far as the store goes, it seems to be mecca for home brewers, but granted I haven't been to many home brew supply stores. Still I was impressed with all that they had to offer for not only home brewing, but wine and cheese making as well. They offer classes on both if I recall correctly.
I see many trips to Bader's in my future. -

My wife and I went here to start to learn to brew beer. The 3 hour class was fun and the guys are super helpful. They offer tons of recipes and tips for your brewing enjoyment. They also have supplies for making Wine, Beer, Cheese, and Liquor.

Upon realizing that Homebrew Exchange doesn't carry enough strains of yeasts, I made a call to Bader Beer and Wine Supply (since Steinbart's was closed). After an awkward conversation in which the Bader owner/employee BSed me a bit about yeast strains (trying to sell me on the wrong product), I realized there was a strain at Bader that I could use, so I drove all the way to Vancouver, bought it, and went home to make a yeast starter. By the time (days later) when I realized my starter was unusually weak, and needed longer than I could give it, I looked at the vial and... Bader sold me expired yeast.
So, they lie to customers and bully them into buying the wrong products, and they sell expired yeast.
I will never go to this craphole again. -

I came here a couple times when I started brewing, on my first visit yeah I'm a rookie but I read about and drink my share of beers, the manager tells me I don't want to buy the equipment I tell him I'm there to buy (bad for business but ok). Their selection for grains, hops, yeast, and hardware is absolutely Spartan. Add all this to the attitude I received (believe me know what kind of beer I want to make and I make it now that I go to real brewshops) this is a brewshop for people who are willing to take somebody elses advice and make substandard beer, the worst shop in Portland is twice as good as Baders.

Beer and wine making supplies and advice. Each full and part time employee is a home brewer. Regularly scheduled three hour classes, during which they brew a batch, limited to 12 students.

Stopped in last evening around 5pm. Busy with perhaps 6-8 customers but only 1 person helping everyone. My wife tasted several of the wines that can be made from kits and decided to order one. They did the base mixing, she did a little stirring and on October 9th she'll go in to bottle and label 30 bottles of her wine.
I also bought some materials to make home made rootbeer. Plastic bottles and caps, a funnel and some yeast with some instructions from the lone worker.
Nice selection and friendly service. I made beer years ago and found Bader's to be a good place to stop by and pick up supplies.
Give it a try! -

This guys know their stuff, Advice is free and supplies are ample. Wouldn't have learned how to brew if it wasn't for these guys. Steve runs a great shop and a solid crew.
