We will provide hot water, yeast, and cold water for chilling. F.H Steinbart will provide a 50% discount on ingredients and because they are such great folks, will be putting your recipe together for you if you ask nice! They will also be onsite to help in any way they can. The Oregon Brew Crew will have their bugermeister on site serving up food! Donations in the form of cash or food are always welcome!

Can't wait to see everyone there!

WHO:              Everyone! As long as they’re 21 and over, of course.WHY:                   There over 1.1 million homebrewers in the United States, 40 percent of which started homebrewing only within the last four years. AHA Big Brew is a toast to the nation’s homebrewers and their shared love and appreciation for homebrewed beer, mead and cider. In 1988, May 7 was announced before Congress as National Homebrew Day, and so the AHA created AHA Big Brew, held each year on the first Saturday in May, to celebrate National Homebrew Day across the U.S. and globe.
