Bite at the Beach – Save the Date & IPA Recipe

/3 Comments/in /by

Everyone-

Its time for Bite at the Beach 2015!  Last year we had the opportunity to take advantage of a shift in alcohol law that allowed homebrewers to donate their beer to non-profit events/orgs and have our beer on tap at a small craft beer festival.  You can read all about last year’s event HERE.We have been asked to do this again by the MBCC.  Just like last year, donating a keg (5 gallons) of homebrewed beer/cider or 2.5 gallons of mead or cider to the festival grants you access to attend as well (1 person per).  Last year was a lot of fun – a very unique opportunity to share our beers with the public.  Lets do it again!

Here is the flyer for this year’s event:

We’re happy to announce that this year we will be partnering, once again, with Strand Brewing Club to brew beer for a good cause! We’ll be pouring with Strand at Bite at the Beach on May 16th and we need your homebrews!

(We will mark the hops that have been spoken for on this website as people signup.  You can choose a different hop for your aroma/flavor hop than hops that are listed here if you prefer)
We don’t want to have duplicate hops on display, so as people sign up for their hop of choice we will mark that spot down as reserved.  If you are interested in participating – IPA challenge or not – please reach out to board@pacificgravity.com to sign up for a particular brew (hop specific) or tap position.  Entry is granted per 5 gallons of homebrew/cider or 2.5 gallons of mead.
Of course we want you to bring all your beers/meads/ciders, but who doesn’t love a good IPA at the beach, so give it a shot!
