Wheat Beer!
Remember when we all got together at The Lab to share, brew, and bring home a wheat beer base to ferment? I do, and it was a fun day!
Well… it’s time to get together again to share the results of that Big Brew Day wort share!
We will have a little friendly competition with the wheat wort results (it could be a beer, a braggot, or some other wild and crazy thing you did with it), and we’ll share some beer at the brewery.
Join us at The Lab, June 17th, starting at 4pm and ending ????
We’ll begin the competition portion of the evening promptly at 6pm.
See you there!
