Hop To It Brewing and Winemaking Supplies (Craft Beer & Brewery in Racine WI)

Hop To It Brewing & Winemaking Supplies lives in Racine’s oldest grain mill, a stone‑cobbled relic that’s been grinding since 1897. The D P Wigley Company started as a humble feed mill, survived a 1840s grain elevator, and now doubles as a haven for anyone who thinks “hops” are a personality type. Its shelves are a mash‑up of premium grains for livestock, garden‑care gear, and a dedicated corner for craft brewers and vintners who prefer their own concoctions to the supermarket’s watered‑down fare.

The shop’s real charm is the willingness to share knowledge. Monthly brewing and winemaking classes turn nervous novices into confident experimenters, while the staff—sharp enough to spot a stale malt from a mile away—offer advice across every category. Prices on wine‑making kits and cider‑yeast packets are deliberately low, a subtle jab at those who think quality must come with a premium markup. In short, Hop To It respects the past (the building has been there forever) while supplying everything needed to create a proper pint or a respectable cuvée, all with a grin that says pretension isn’t on the menu.Bold moves and bold flavors are encouraged here, and the result is a genuine celebration of craftsmanship.
