Folks,   Thank you for being our customer!  It has been an interesting few years and I am sure it will continue to be for some time to come.  It seems as if we have been cursed with what the Ancient Chinese Philosopher, Robert Kennedy, once said, "May you live in interesting times!" Whatever the case may be, we had planned to do inventory in January 2021.  Then we all got COVID-19.  As such, we never really got a chance to do inventory and we have been playing catch up ever since..  Plus, honestly, I need a break.  For 20 years,...

Folks, I finally pulled the trigger on putting together the stuff for the "StrangeBrew™" section of the shop.  This will contain oddities and other items that are a little less related to computers and a little more related to what makes me (MacRorie) a little weird. We will have RCA SelectaVision (CED) discs for sale (or trade!).  We will soon have Sony PS2/PSP/PS Vita/PS3/PS4 games for sale.  We have been selling these on eBay, but now you can get them through the shop and they will be 10% less (since I do not have to pay eBay 10%, I pass...

Folks, As the pandemic stretches on and as all of "de joy" has been taken out of the USPS, we need to change our shipping policy.  As soon as we can change it back, we will. Domestic and International First Class Packages Effective immediately (01 April 2021), any order that selects USPS First Class or Parcel Select ground as a shipping service and the USPS declares it lost, The Brewing Academy will NOT be responsible for replacing it. The includes First Class International. The reason is that there is no insurance on that shipping method and we cannot recoup our expenses...

Folks, We are trying to return to "normal" here at The Brewing Academy, but we really don't have any idea what normal is any more so, bear with us, please. We have formalized a schedule in an attempt to not go too crazy AND to get things out the door in an efficient  manner.  Things are so busy and we need to not try and do everything constantly. Here it is: Starting 25 Jan 21, The Brewing Academy will adopt the following schedule [All times are Pacific (GMT -8) Mon-Fri]: 0800-1200       Emails answered and orders processed Phone calls will receive...

Folks, The COVID-19 infection is slowly leaving The Brewing Academy.  MacRorie's lungs are no longer trying to actively kill him.  Our Production Supervisor, Edgard, is still symptom free and will be released from quarantine next week.  We are still waiting to hear the test results for our shipping crew.  Hopefully, they are negative and can come back sooner rather than later. Except for the 4 order numbers listed in the pop-up, all other orders have left the building.  The last four will leave next week if I have to walk them to the USPS myself! All new orders should be handled...
