    We had our best year ever last year, with our sales and customer base growing to new heights! The internet has proven to be a great forum for homebrew allowing us to have one of the best homebrewing web sites in the world.  We hope to be adding pictures to the descriptions of our products soon so you can see what you are ordering.

By the way we have updated our website to a shopping cart style format, so ordering is easy and fast.

If you allready have our site cached be sure to hit the reload or refresh button to get the new updates! http://www.homebrewmart.com

This should make ordering easy as clicking your mouse.  We also have a very nice web site for our brewery, http://www.ballastpoint.com . This site has info on our latest brews as well as pint nights and special brewery events.  We should be seeing our new t-shirts in starring the Calico bass.  The popular Copper Ale will soon be known as Calico Copper Ale, keeping with the local game fish theme.  So for all the fishermen out there be sure to look for the new tees.
