Akasha is 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.

* The purpose is to reward those who brew on site in an effort to get more folks to come out and make this a great event. However, a VERY few number of exceptions will be allowed, for example, your electric brewing system is hardwired into your house. If you are granted and exception, then you will still be expected to attend the brew-in. See the registration form for more instructions.
