Akasha Brew In and Competition–
Rick Stidham and Akasha are hosting us for a brew-in and competition on March 11th, from 8am to 3pm. The theme this year is CEREAL, so all entries must be brewed with a cereal adjunct – oats, corn or rice. It can be used as flakes or in a cereal mash. The competition is open to all base styles, and you must be a LAGERS member to participate. We will also serve as a Club social. Jason Rosenberger will be bringing the smoked BBQ, and we will have the jockey boxes flowing.
What: Brew-in, Brew-Off and Social
Where: Akahsha Brewing Company, 909 E Market St #700, Louisville, KY 40206
When: March 11th from 8:00 am to 3 pm
More details are available at the link above. Come out and have some fun and some BBQ! Even if you can’t brew, we’d love to have you come by and hang out for a while, see what our members are making!
Be sure to bring a side dish and a keg of homebrew to share!
