National Homebrew Day - Big Brew!

The American Homebrewers Association's Big Brew and our WSB Meeting is Saturday May 5th at Marti and Ernie's house. If you are bringing your own brew supplies - you can set up as early as 9:30am on the driveway. Brew whatever style you like. The worldwide Toast to Homebrewing is at 10am - a photo opportunity. Other things to bring would be a drinking vessel, homebrews, commercial beers (whatever style), bottled water, folding chairs and snacks. Since it is also Cinco de Mayo - it will be a mexican food theme. I'll have crockpots of chili con carne and a chicken dish and other side dishes. Brewers can drop off their supplies on the upper driveway. Contact Us for directions.

Brewing with Bigfoot

The National Homebrew Conference "Brewing with Bigfoot" will be held in Bellevue next June and registration is coming up soon. Check out the American Homebrewers Association website. Last year almost 2000 homebrewers attended. A few WSB club members are interested in participating in 2012, especially in the "Club Night" event - which is reserving a space along with all the other homebrew clubs in the Hospitality Suite. "Club Night" is usually the Friday night and lasts about 4 hours. The homebrew clubs bring beer to share - or mead or cider.            If you are interested in BWB (Brewing with Bigfoot) - there will be a get-together on Sunday Oct. 9th at 3pm at Hale's Alehouse in the Silverdale Mall to discuss our theme, brews we want to offer, a future date for judging those brews and how many kegs ot bottles will we need for June. Look for us in one of the back rooms or back patio. Bring a notebook plus any info you might have on the NHC.              Start brewing for Bigfoot!
