Join us at Apocalypse Brew Works for a unique fundraiser!
Grab a pint, pet a puppy, and do some good — Yappy Hour is BACK for its 15th year!
Join LAGERS Homebrew Club and Apocalypse Brew Works for our biggest fundraiser of the year, benefiting the Kentucky Humane Society. Our club members have been busy brewing their best recipes in collaboration with Apocalypse to serve at the event. Expect at least a dozen unique, one off brews that will only be available at this event!
There’ll be a food truck on hand, and the Kentucky Humane Society will be there with adoptable animals looking to meet their forever families.
And the best part? 100% of the proceeds go straight to the Kentucky Humane Society. Every dollar helps animals in need!
So join us on October 17th at 1pm at Apocalypse Brew Works to help make our 15th Yappy Hour our best!
Be sure to RSVP and share with your friends on Facebook: CLICK HERE!
The beer list will be published closer to the event date.
Yappy Hour 2026 Rules and Information:
- Our goal is to raise $5,000. To do so, we’ll need basically every active member to brew a batch, so please plan on participating if you can!
- Brewgrass Homebrew Supply will cover the costs of malt and hops. (Thanks, John!) Malt and hops must be in stock at Brewgrass. (What’s in stock? Give them a call at 502-552-4274). You can start pickup as early as next week, 8/31. Members can supply their own ingredients and are responsible for any adjuncts. Please bring a copy of your recipe to Brewgrass, as they will not have it readily available.
- Apocalypse Brew Works (ABW) will provide yeast. (Thanks, Leah!) Options are US-05, S-04, K-97, and Kveik. You can also supply your (non-funky) yeast. Philly sour is allowed. Expect fermentation temperatures at ABW to be between 65-70°F.
- You must submit your recipe even if you are bringing your own ingredients. Yeast must be pitched at ABW to be sold at Yappy Hour.
- Maximum original gravity (OG) for recipes is 1.070. Maximum 10 gallons per member (i.e., two 5 gal batches or one 10 gal batch). Smaller batch sizes accepted!
- Our annual Yappy Hour Brew-in is on Sunday, September 13th, starting at 10am. Bring your brewing system to ABW, and brew a beer for Yappy Hour! If you want to learn more about brewing, come to ABW to see the many different systems members use. Bring homebrew and potluck-style snacks, and consider buying a beer from ABW.
- If your brewing system is not mobile, bring your wort to ABW on the 25th to pitch your yeast.
- Members are responsible for all transfers and kegging of their beer. They also must provide their own fermenters and kegs. ABW will carbonate the beers, but members must keg beers by Friday, October 9th. Expect your keg to remain at ABW until your beer sells out!
- Any questions, please reach out to Nathan Muleski at nathan.muleski@gmail.com
