NEW VENTUREComing Soon In 2025...

We are pleased to announce that we will soon be stocking Beekeeping supplies! This will be a very new venture for our shop but we feel it will be very fitting with what we already do here at Witches Brew.

You can keep your bees happy then find all the preserving jars and accessories you need to store the honey, as well as all the equipment you need to make your own homebrew Mead, all in one shop!

Please let us know if there are any particular items regarding this that you would love to see in our shop! Any advice on the subject and best products to stock will be much appreciated!

Welcome to Witches Brew

15 years on and we are now Exeters only Homebrew specialists!

Formerly Cowick Cookware and Homebrew… We have now rebranded to Witches Brew! We are still the same people, same shop, same products and services, just a different name!

Our shop has undergone some big changes in the last few years. Many of our regular customers would have known my dad Ian Kendall who set up the shop in 2009. Sadly last year in April 2023, he suddenly passed away (taking all his knowledge with him!). So I am now running the shop to keep it going for him! My name is Katie, I am still learning everything there is to know about home brewing and will always try to help as much as I can, if I don’t know the answer we can learn together!

We stock everything you need for your hobby including complete Beer and Wine kits, complete brewing set ups for Beer, Wine and Cider, Spirit kits to make your own Vodka, Gin, Whisky etc. We also stock everything from the buckets and demijohns used to brew in, to the barrels and bottles used for storing it. Everything in between includes the steriliser, sugar, a wide range of yeasts, citric acid, grape concentrates, hops, equipment for testing alcohol levels, bottling, corking and so much more!

Recently, we introduced a loyalty card scheme, like a coffee card but for Beer and Wine kits! So every time you buy a Beer, Wine or Cider kit from us you will receive a stamp and be on your way to getting some money off of a kit in the future!

We also stock a wide range of cooking and kitchen items! From kettles and toasters, through a huge range of kitchen gadgets, scales, thermometers and timers, to baking trays and cake tins, jam and preserve equipment as well, you’ll be sure to find what you need! And if we don’t have what you are looking for, we always aim to source it and get it in for you.

Since taking on the shop we have introduced an even more diverse range of stock including plants (lots are home grown), gift items and Homewares.

We are currently open 4 days a week until 2pm (4pm on Saturdays) as we have 3 children at home to juggle! However we are planning on extending our opening hours in the near future.

We hope to see you down here for all your homebrewing and kitchen needs and you are always welcome to pop in and say hi!

Have a lovely day.

Katie, Steve and the team (the kids!)
