The Central Valley Brewers Guild was highlighted in a ModestoNews.org video, on Learn to Homebrew Day, at Barely & Wine. Enjoy!
Learn to Homebrew Day 2011
This Saturday, November 5, 2011, the Central Valley Brewers Guild will be co-hosting the AHA’s 13th annual Learn to Homebrew Day at Barley & Wine in Modesto. We’ll be starting promptly at 9 am, and so far it looks like three CVBG guildies will be putting together all-grain batches of beer. Please join us to talk the brewer’s talk, while three of our brewers demonstrate how easy it is to brew high quality beer. Feel free to bring samples of your homebrew to share with attendees, as well as perhaps a munchie to share. There will be some kind of light lunch provided to attendees.
See you Saturday at Barley & Wine!
