Falcons Burgerfrau Jenna Bonney & Kyrsten Beidelman will lead an all-women brew crew, we are still working out which beer to brew!
Everyone Participates, from Start to Finish
There are 6 available spots on the brew crew, but we encourage all female brewers to join this fun brew day to celebrate the few, the proud, the female homebrewers of the Maltose Falcons! (Male members - please do NOT sign up for this event. You're welcome to come visit, just not be on the brew crew). Bring a beer or snack to share with the crew if you like.
Economical & Educational
Unless otherwise announced, yeast will be provided for participants, but you may also choose to use your own yeast. Each participant will pitch in for the cost of ingredients (usually $10-$15 cash), and take 5 gallons of wort to ferment at home. So it's very economical and a great opportunity to get some hands-on brewing experience on a larger, more sophisticated brewing system than most homebrewers have access to, learn new recipes, and, of course, a chance to hang out with your fellow Falcons and share brews and snacks. Bring a carboy, bucket or keg for your wort, or buy one in the shop.
Members Only
You must be a dues-paid Maltose Falcons member and your membership will be verified prior to your spot being confirmed.
