2008 Big Brew held at Alternative Beverage in Belmont

A good crowd was on hand for the 2008 Big Brew. There were a number of brewers also doing both extract brews and all grain brews with sevral different setups for each. A number of first time brewers attended and there were some that are interested in getting into homebrewing and wanted to see what it was all about. Jess provided lots of good foods with a number of people also bring covered dishes. Oh yes, there was lots of homebrew on hand also. At 1 PM we made a toast to Big Brew, as you can see in the pic below
