BEWBC will be participating in Beerstock 5060.  If you are interested in participating, please read on!

WHAT IS BEERSTOCK 5060?

In the summer of 2009 Beerstock 5060 was the first legal get-together of Washington homebrew clubs, to taste each other’s home brew and talk brewing across home brew club lines. Yes, it’s like a homebrew beer fest!

Thanks to the passing of Bill 5060, after July 26th, 2009 it became legal to have this type of event for Washington homebrew club members. This year, Alison & Mark have gathered a choice group of people from a variety of clubs to help organize this event. Brian is helping with emails and communications and his wife Lisa is helping with the Check-in at the event.
