Matchless Home Brew -

In May 1984 I placed my large wooden barrel in the centre of my new window display and it's still there today - probably the only thing in the shop (except me of course!) that hasn't changed significantly.
Since that day in May, Matchless Home Brew has continually changed and adapted to bring to the customer the very best in home brew products. My customers range from the long standing practitioners of brewing and wine making who know from experience exactly what they need, to the innovative, demanding pioneers who want the very latest in ingredients and technology.

To supply these very different needs I carry a wide range of stock and can obtain almost anything not in stock at very short notice. My stocklist is too extensive and updated too frequently for it to be sensible to put on this website. Instead I will give you some idea of the range available and my e-mail address / phone number so please contact me to get exactly what you want.

Of course it's not just about products. As someone who has made and brewed ales for many years I have a wide ranging knowledge of the products which I sell. I am always happy to help beginners with advice, swap experiences with customers and generally help in any way I can.

Someone else who will also help in any way she can, based on her own extensive experience is Joan Mayes. Joan has been associated with the shop since it's beginning and manages the shop when I am on holiday (or off on one of my weekend motorcycling trips!).

Here's a taster from my wide ranging stocklist:

• Selection, Vintner's Reserve& Beaverdale, all 100% grape juice wine kits for top quality home made wine.
• Butler, Vigernon & Favorite, some of the excellent quality kits ready for drinking in four weeks.
• Solomon Grundy, Bard's Blends, Bellevue, for those of you who want the finished article in 7 days.
• Chemicals, equipment, liqueur kits, anything you can think of really!
• Hops, about 20 varieties (they keep changing).
• Pale Malt, Maris Otter, Halcyon, Pipkin, Spice, Gleam & Organic Pale Malt plus many others, e.g. Vienna, Munich and Belgian types.
• Brewing Equipment, 5 gall upwards, everything from fermenting bins to casks.
• Muntons, Woodfordes, Brupaks, York Brewery, a selection of the 100% malt kits for easy, top quality brewing.
• Muntons, Edme, Coopers, Sampsons etc., just a few of the quality ranges of kits available for beer.

If you are travelling within calling distance then please visit the shop at 32 Belvoir Road, Coalville for a chat about your brewing & winemaking interest, be warned though, if you turn up on a motorcycle it could be a lo-o-o-ng visit!
