SBS is awesome! They're always so nice and ready assist with any brew or fermentation needs. Their stock is super consistent and the basics are always on hand. It's fantastic to see that they carry a super high quality malting company from here in Oregon, Mecca Grade, love their malts! They carry a wide selection of malts and grains as well as a dizzying selection of hops. They stock Imperial and Wyeast for liquid yeast as well as the well known dry yeasts like Fermentis, Lavlin and Mangrove Jack. If you need it, they will most likely have it!

Proceed with caution: Yeast: I’ve had 2 completely dead liquid yeast packets from two manufacturers. I had to dump an entire batch once after yeast failed. He did give me a new packet once. The second time I made a starter and it had no activity and offered no replacement. So I was only out $15 or so. Every time I get yeast here it’s super laggy. Could be shipping or storage but always make a starter from here. The dry yeast should probably be fine but as a rule I try not to buy yeast here. Grains: if you weigh and mill it yourself you’ve got no problems and this place has the best selection in town. If he fills your grain bill WEIGH IT when you get it! I had a batch that was 13 points too low. Tracked it down to the only thing it could be which was 2lb of missing grain off my grain bill. He did offer to credit me the $3 for the missing grain. Which was nice. But I spent 3 hours brewing $50 on grain, yeast, and hops and got 7 gallons of beer that is not what I meant to brew. Equipment: never had a problem with any equipment or accessories purchased. I try to buy stuff like that locally to support local business. Overall I’ve had to dump 1 batch, and had two dead yeast packets and 1 failed brew day after shopping here less than a year. I still shop here because of the lack of options in the area but be vigilant about yeast and grain or you’ll end up dumping beer or brewing a mystery grain bill.

They are very friendly, helpful and carry many of the core supplies and ingredients to brew. I hope they expand their selection a little more. That would be my only little complaint. I think they're willing to bring in new items apon request because they've ordered things for me that they didn't normally carry. Great shop !
