Welcome

Home brewing is an easy and enjoyable way to capture the flavor of traditional beers, wines, brandys, and soft drinks, or to create exciting new blends of your own. The Cracked Cork can help you get started with complete home brewing kits and brewing supplies.

With over thirty years of experience as a brewing hobbyist and supplier, proprietor Gary Bowles will happily assist you in selecting just the right kit, ingredient, and equipment to make your brewing experience a success.

Take a look around our site and then give us a call at 301-791-2882 or visit us at the store. Our brew kits make the perfect gift, and we also offer gift certificates and onsite training for the beginner, or experienced brewer.

Learn the Art of Wine Making!

No, you won't have to stomp the grapes, but the Cracked Cork can help you make a successful hands-on start with our onsite wine making instruction. Schedule a session at our East Maple Street location and make between 5 and 6 gallons of red, white, or fruit wine (approximately 26 - 750 ml bottles) for only $150! Price includes all ingredients and bottles. Call us at 301-791-2882 to schedule an appointment.
