With Senate Bill 5060 going into effect on July 26th, there are already some events in planning to take advantage of our new abilities to congregate as a community.  These will be our first chances to get together and share our homemade concoctions legally and in a non-competitive environment.

For the events currently planned, here is some basic information that you can use to get in touch with the organizers and be a part of the event! There will be:

BREW B.A.S.H (Brewers Assembling and Sharing Homebrew)

Date: Saturday, August 1st, 2:00 pm
Location: Yakima (please contact organizer for address)
Overview: All northwest brewers are welcome to come to a homebrew gathering in Yakima. As the law requires, all attendees must be a member of some homebrewing club, or be a brewer bringing a brew to share. Everyone should bring their own chairs and tables if they want them, and of course their own tapping equipment should they need it. People are encouraged to bring any equipment they no longer use, for trade or sale. Entry is $5 and all pre-sells and early sales will get an etched pint glass, as long as they last past the RSVPs.  There will be a BB-Queue, so anyone can bring meat, or a grill too if they like. Everyone is welcome to bring a dish they would like to share as well. Staying late or camping is welcomed, for safe and responsible drinking. It's on an acre of land in Yakima County, in East Selah.  CONTACT THE ORGANIZER FOR MORE DETAILS!
