Local Competition Opportunity...
Forwarded to us via Jerry Carney.... Dust off a couple of those special bottles you've been saving (or counter-pressure fill some from that keg you've got stashed away) and submit them for judging! Your beer could be the next big hit at the Manayunk Brew pub! Best beers will be brewed there and served to their customers!
Competition entry fees will be paid for by the club if you bring your brew to the meeting and everyone agrees to submit it! Take note of the applicable categories below.
