Available on tap will be What The Saison, brewed by club members AJ & Joe D’Amico and Russ & Danielle Malone (if it doesn’t sell out before then). What The Saison was brewed at Big Brew Day in May (which was held at GSB) and was then selected to be re-brewed by the original brewers and GSB and has been submitted to the Pro-Am competition being held at the Great American Beer Festival.

As always, the sharing of homebrew is strongly encouraged. Additionally, there will be a feedback table staffed by BJCP judges for immediate, interactive, constructive feedback. Have a question about your beer? Can’t pinpoint why it’s not coming out the way you’d like? Not sure what category to enter a beer into for competition? Bring them down and have our judges discuss your beer with you.
