RANDY MOSHER BOOK SIGNING AT KEYSTONE HOMEBREW & BEER EVENT AT IRON HILL
Thursday, June 10
Sure, we had to wait a few extra months, but the timing couldn’t be better! Randy Mosher will be visiting our humble homebrew shop in Montgomeryville during Philly Beer Week on Thursday, June 10 between 5:30 and 6:30 PM. If you’ve read any of his books (listed below), then you know you don’t want to miss this! Randy is one of the premier authors on homebrewing and one of the great ambassadors for craft beer in this country. Following the store visit, he will be going to Iron Hill Brewery in North Wales (www.ironhillbrewery.com) where he will lead a short presentation about Tasting Beer. The Iron Hill event starts at 7:00 PM, costs $10 per person, and includes a free pint, tutored tasting of 4 beers, light snacks. Purchase your tickets exclusively through Keystone Homebrew: http://www.keystonehomebrew.com/Zilron/catalog104_0.html

BREWING CLASSES
In celebration of Philly Beer Week, we are holding both an introductory class for beginners and and advanced class for fanatical brewers who want to learn all-grain techniques. These classes tend to sell out early; we will need payment in advance to reserve your spot. Sign up today! http://www.keystonehomebrew.com/Zilron/catalog112_0.html
All-Grain Brewing (Advanced)
Saturday, June 5, 10:00 AM
Whether you are looking to make the jump to all-grain brewing or you just want to improve your techniques, you will love this class!
Award winning instructor David Grosch will demonstrate mashing, sparging, boiling, and chilling methods. The class will be held in the parking lot behind our Montgomervyille store, and will run until around 3:00 PM, with lunch included. Bring some homebrew to share! $75 per person
Introduction to Brewing
Wednesday, June 9, 7:00 PM at Studio M Foods (near our Montgomeryville store, www.studiomfoods.com) First-time brewers will learn about basic equipment and techniques, and will get hands-on experience brewing, bottling, and tasting homebrew. If you can’t make this one, a second Introduction to Brewing class will be held on Wednesday, June 23 (same time, same place). The class makes a great Fathers Day gift! $40 per person
