Announcements

  • Get your brews ready and your palates cleansed for the third annual SCH-ABC! Entrants, judges, and stewards are all encouraged to participate, and remember, EVERY BEER COUNTS. Last year's EPHY came down to the SCH-ABC Best of Show table, and we expect another close race this year.

    Details available on the SCH-ABC page!

  • It's official: this year's Group Brew will be a classic Maibock! Still working on the details on the whole roasted pig, but either way it will be a fun afternoon for all.

Awards and Recognition

We're proud of our "no serious illness or death" record so far, but we're also proud of those beers that have been recognized as award-winners by the brewing community, as judged at Beer Judge Certification Program sanctioned competitions. Congratulations to our brewers, and keep up the good work!
