Homebrewing has become a serious hobby for many people, and there is a lot of local interest and talent in our community. Each guest will have the opportunity to taste a variety of beer brewed by our guest brewers. You can then cast your vote as in judging which local brewer you like best (must be 21 years old to be a judge). A “People’s Choice” trophy will be awarded to the winning brewer.

The “Brewers Choice” growler will be awarded for the beer the brewers select as their most favorite.

A cash bar featuring beer and wine will also be available for the evening.
