Start Your Kettles! Lamorinda Home Brew Fest No. 2 Is Coming Up

From Chris Flum and Steve Meagher:

Last September’s homebrew fest was so much fun we decided to make it a biannual event.

LaMorinda Beer Fest #2 May 16th at Oak Spring Pool in Orinda!

This season we will have another round of experienced judges and fun awards.

Suggested 3.5+ Gallons per brew entry.

Last year proved many great beers are born in garages and back yards throughout the area, and unfortunately some of the best beers were miss named/categorized according to how they were brewed and to the ingredients in which they used.

Steve Meagher’s Irish Red Beer won the event because it was exactly what its description said it was.

And, there were a few beers we really wanted to take the prize, but unfortunately they were not categorized correctly in the entrance description (Know your beer).. and there were a few awesome beers that the brewers did not have enough supply and some of the judges missed out on the tastings.

Let’s make this event better than the last which we considered a total success!

Patrons, tickets will be available and the pool will be open with lifeguards.

There will be food and non-alcoholic beverages available, Donations of $10 per adult and $5 per child. We will be limiting the number of patrons. The event starts at 2:00PM until app. 6:00PM
