    Introducing the LAGERS Cup!

    November 18, 2023

    We are now in our second year of the LAGERS cup. This idea was brought to us by club member Jacob Dryer (shamelessly stolen from his previous club), and it has been a great success.

The course will be administered by Craig Gardone, with help from many other BJCP judges from the area (and maybe some special guest teachers!). The course will be $150, all of which will go towards purchasing materials for the class. We intend…
