AHA Big Brew Day
There are still spots available at both Brewer’s Tasting Room and Southern Brewing for the May 3 AHA National Homebrew Day.
Southern Brewing will provide RO water, electricity and a 10% discount on any ingredients purchased that day. If you’re interested in brewing, contact Cindy at marketing@southernbrewingwinemaking.com.
The Brewer’s Tasting Room has space for up to 15 brewers. They also will provide water and electricity. If you would like a spot, contact Allan at allan@specialhoperations.org.
Even if you’re not brewing, come on out and support those that are at either location. It’s a fun time and you may pick up some tips to improve your own process at home.
