Liquor Barn
Homebrew and Wine Making
All six Liquor Barns stock a great variety of beer brewing & wine making supplies. We are home brewers and wine makers too! You can view our awesome list of our in-stock items and how to special order items below.
In Louisville, our Springhurst store has the largest home brew and wine making department, and in Lexington, visit our Beaumont store on Harrodsburg Road for the best selections. These two stores also stock home “kegerator” supplies and Homebrew kegging supplies: Cornelius kegs & parts, CO2 tanks, regulators, hoses & fittings etc.
Our Home Brew and Wine Making Manager Drew Johnson is available and happy to help you!

Special Orders
In addition to the normally stocked items at each Liquor Barn store, any item from the following wholesale distributors can be special ordered for pickup at your local Liquor Barn:
LD Carlson http://www.ldcarlson.com/
Crosby & Baker http://www.crosby-baker.com/
Wyeast Laboratories http://www.wyeastlab.com/
Each of these distributors has a public, unpriced catalog available for viewing. If an item is listed, we can order it for you. Email Michael Summers (msummers@liquorbarn,com) or call (859-223-1400) for a price quote.
Shipping charges for Special Orders: We usually order about once per month from these suppliers. If we place your Special Order with our regular order, we do not charge any additional shipping fees as they are spread throughout the larger order. If you hit the timing of the order just right, your Special Order will be in stock in a week or so. If you order just when we have received another order, it may be 5 weeks or so before your Special Order item is in stock, if ordered on the standard order schedule.
If you need it sooner, we are also happy to order it right away, but as it is the only item(s) on the order, we have to add the shipping charges of that item(s) into the retail price.
