I did not make that up!
You probably already know I'm a personal craft brewer, (in other words, a home brewing junkie). I'm also the founding member of the Black Bottom Brew Club and Biergarten in Detroit MI. Anyway, Saturday, Nov 3, is "National Teach a Friend to Brew Day". Home brew stores across the USA will most likely be doing some sort of demonstration or teaching event in the parking lot. So, if you are interested in learning the craft, I urge you to look up your local home brew supply and see if they are doing something on Saturday, it's a great time to learn the basics. Our brew club was invited to 3 different places to participate this year but unfortunately we can only go to one. If you are in the Detroit area and want to hang out brewing (and drinking) some great beer outside on Saturday, send me a PM and I'll give you directions to where we'll be setting up.
