Reviews for Deja Brew in Shrewsbury, MA
Deja Brew was an awesome experience! Carl was extremely knowledgeable, personable and welcoming. We enjoyed learning about the... process of making wine and also doing it! Carl took the time to explain the history of Deja Brew as well and how his familyacquired it. Love local businesses like this and we will be back again to make more! Read more
I can?t say enough about Deja Brew! It?s a real family affair over there and they always go out of their way to help make sure... you?re brewing the best beer you can! Everything is top notch from the ingredients to the casual atmosphere. I?ve done 7 brewsthere over the years and keep coming back?even though it?s a 1 1/2 hour drive! Highly recommend! Read more
Went as an anniversary gift from my fiance and made our own wine, which was a blast! The staff was super friendly and walked us... through the whole process and livened up the experience for us. Wine ended up coming out great, and the wine on tap there wasgreat as well! Read more
Great place for team building or just getting together and brewing beer or even making wine. The owners are very nice and very... helpful Read more
We went to Deja Brew several years ago and made their Drunken Monk ale. That was, hands down, one of the best beers my wife and... I ever had. Now we live in Indiana and I?ve been brewing in my home and we still talk about how good that beer was. I calledthem up today just asking them to point me in the right direction of brewing it and they went ahead and sent me the instructionsto me. I can?t tell you how taken aback they would just share their recipe like that. I miss MA and I can?t recommend this placeenough for not only being awesome people with great beer recipes, but also for helping kickstart my desire to home brew. If youwant to have a great experience or get your foot in the door with home brewing yourself this is the place to go. Thank you allso much!! Read more
This is a very cool do-it-yourself brewery, the staff is all very friendly and informative, and it feels very welcoming and fun.... I'd definitely recommend it for groups or just friends who want to make their own beer or wine. Updated review: I returned tobottle my beer just before Christmas. Keith and Karl, two of the people working there were incredibly friendly and helpful inhelping me bottle my ale. I brought my own bottles which didn't work in the machines at first, but with Carl's help we were ableto figure it out. If you don't bring your own bottles you can buy some from them, and they are very accommodating with peoplewho bring their own. I brought my beer while traveling for Christmas and it was a huge hit, everyone compared it toprofessionally made stuff. I will be returning for Father's Day to make beer with my dad, and I am sincerely looking forward toit. Read more
Place is under new ownership which is a beautiful thing because they finally have supplies like Adjunct and a full variety of... Hops. Menu of beers to make is outstanding and price is well worth it. The Brewmaster Keith is extremely knowledgable andhelpful! If you bring in a Custom recipe you find out there they will work with you to price it out and validate therecipe. They have bottle cleaner in site so you can bottle or if you have a kegerator at home and prefer to keg your beer. Brewit,comeback in 2 or 3 weeks to bottle it and let it "mature" at home for a week or two and then enjoy your creation!!! Read more
TLDR: don't go to this stuck up business. It's very expensive, compared to actual homebrewing. The staff is rude and... apparently do not conmprehend customer service skills. Customers are brew-noobs that need hand-holding from the condescending,undereducated staff. I've seen these type of business models all over New England. They *never* survive for nore than a coupleyears. Hope the owners have a plan for bankruptcy, because I guarantee it's coming soon. Read more
