November is chock full of fun and important MASH activities. First up is the 6th Annual Motown MASH. Motown MASH is our annual homebrew competition where we will judge over 400 beers entered by homebrewers across the country.
Motown MASH is a great success every year thanks to the many volunteers that help support the club and this year we need your help. There are several opportunities to volunteer to support MASH’s largest event and most important fund raising activity:
The Bottle Sort on November, 10th at 12 pm at Poor Henry’s
Help the club sort and label all of the entries for Motown MASH and enjoy the amazing food and craft beer selection while you are there.
