    Next month we are going to be having our annual Multi Club Picnic at Briones State Park on August 11th from 10am- 6pm! This is a great opportunity to lounge about on a nice Sunday afternoon ,drink some beer and have a hot dog or two and meet fellow homebrewers. This is a potluck event so please bring some food and beer to share! I highly encourage people to come as it really is a fun event. Children and dogs with leashes are welcome as well. Directions to the campground are down below. Feel free to email me with any questions you might have.
