Registration will remain open through the end of March. If demand still remains low, the event will be canceled. If you or anyone you know is interested, the details and a sign-up form can be found at the link below. The next AZ judging exam after this will be Jan. 2017.

1912 will be hosting us this year. This will be an outside event for Tucson Homebrew Club members in good standing.

1912 will be doing the mash. Seeing as they have a 100 gallon capacity, sign up will be limited to 14 people at 7 gallons each, additional wort available if capacity is not reached or if someone signs up and can’t make it.

This is on a first-come-first-served basis. Cost for the event is $15. Sign up using the button below.

Recipe and further details will be sent out later.

We are going to have a booth and would like some volunteers to setup and man a booth, talk about the club, perhaps judge some beer etc. 

Don’t worry, you’ll be work some of the time, and have some time to enjoy the festival.
