Thanks for all the input. My vision is: Home Brew Supplies including DME/Grain kits and All grain kits. Wine and cheese making supplies and lessons for beginners in all three disciplines. Growler bar with 10 to 20 local-ish brands on tap and craft beer in bottles from all over. In the right spot I believe it will be a hit.

My LHBS sells all bottles as singles.  You can mix and match which allows people to try a lot of different beers without buying 6 of everything.  It has been a very good format for him.

My LHBS can't sell through the New Zealand hops not counting Sauvin.  Jade, Motueka, Pacifica, etc. I think would sell, but nope.  It's in the largest suburb of KCMO.  Food for thought.

He is considering selling singles and sixers of craft beer too.

While customer input will be great, try not to allow one customer to get you stock something only they will buy.  The LHBS did that here after only being open a couple months, and they have a gallon of Fermcap that is basically garbage at this point.  It's a balancing act on many things.  Definately try to get the local club to meet at your store if at all possible, but in my state, you can't bring homebrew into a place that already sells beer.
