Looking for a local place to pickup Lockerbeans Vanilla extract? On Indy's Northeast side that location is Porter Books & Bread! Porter uses Lockerbeans Vanilla in their baking and also makes it available for sale. -make sure to try out the white chocolate scone when you're in...it's my fav! In the spirit of a true Scot, I dare you to bust through their door and yell out... "How ye Darin! Whaur be yuer well tidy scran? translation: Hey, what do you have in here that's good to eat? (Make sure to yell this loudly right when you enter!) When they look at you weirdly and right before they ask you to leave..just tell them Beanmaster sent you ;) Enjoy! Beanmaster

Yes, it's true. I denied it for 3 years now...stuck my head in the sand but it didn't go away! The storms and weather events on the other side of the globe REALLY DID effect the price of Vanilla beans by creating a demand-shortage situation. In many cases bean prices have gone up as much as 1000% (Yes, that's one thousand) percent! Using the Lockerbeans method of bean preparation, we are able to extract maximum flavor value from each bean we purchase...so that even though our source is the same and our costs have gone up tremendously for the beans, we are able to deliver the same quality extract with only a moderate price increase, unlike many of our competitors who have had to double or triple their prices. Give your recipes a change this season and kick things up a notch with Lockerbeans Vanilla! (your family will deliver you more comments than you ever thought possible!) Beanmaster

It's that special time of year...time for family traditions, egg-nog and Pfeffernüsse cookies, shopping, spending time with friends, and hopefully taking time to slow down and refresh a bit before the start of a new year. At Lockerbeans we're getting ready to bottle a whole new batch of Vanilla Extract that's been brewing for over 1 year! Bold, strong vanilla flavor is about to break out of the Lockerbeans Vanilla factory and into your home and your recipes (but only if you buy some ')! I happened to be walking through my favorite warehouse store doing some general shopping when I noticed a massive display of so-called Vanilla Extract, so I picked one up and looked at the label (see pics below). Now, you may not get along with everyone in your family, but there's no reason to alienate them further by baking them items made with a horrible vanilla-flavored extract substitution. So there it is...read it closely...extractives in water... This means that there's some sort of vanilla flavor that's been added to water, then that mixture has some sort of alcohol mixed in with it! We believe good things come to those who wait, so if you've been waiting for an incredibly rich vanilla flavor to use in your recipes, then your ship has just come in! We're bottling around 200 bottles this week so there's enough to go around! Over 1 year in the making, hand-crafted and special priced for the Christmas season. Let us know if you have any questions, and make sure to post your recipe that Lockerbeans Vanilla made even better! Merry Christmas, ​Beanmaster
