The Brew Hut Big Brew

by

 

We gather out front, beginning at 7 a.m., hauling our equipment from shed, basement or garage.

We make beer, drink beer, fire up the grills, and most of all, socialize!

Although the AHA normally has Big Brew the first Saturday in May, that’s also Mother’s Day weekend, and so out of respect for all of us with mothers, who try our beer and say they like it, we’ve decided to move it out two weeks

 

 

The Brew Hut Homebrewer’s Night

Bring a bottle or two of homemade beer, mead, cider or liquour, and grab a cup … that’s about the extent of the organization. We’ll try each other’s products and talk about beer and brewing and…

Bring a friend! Heck, bring two!
