Oktoberfest Homebrewing Demonstration & Beer Tasting
Saturday, September 13th, 12pm – 4pm
Celebrate this Oktoberfest with a demonstration of homebrewing plus beer tastings from our local Foggy Coast Brewers and North Coast Brewing Company. You’ll also get free admission to our current exhibit “On Tap: The History of Brewing on the Mendocino Coast.
Drop by anytime during the demonstration from Noon – 4pm, there is no formal presentation, but the brewers will share tips and techniques as they prepare a batch of homebrew. If you’ve ever wondered how your favorite craft beer goes from grain to glass, this event is for you.
While we celebrate the craft of homebrewing, we also honor its deep roots on the Mendocino Coast. In the 1860s, German immigrants brought their brewing knowledge to California, setting up small breweries in lumber towns such as Mendocino and Point Arena. The fresh, light German lager styles quickly captured the thirst of the American public and created a lasting mark on the beer industry.
Savor the beer and the beautiful view of Mendocino Bay from the Kelley House Museum lawn. Space is limited, so reserve your spot today and get ready to raise a glass to the art of homebrewing! Kelley House Museum members receive a discounted ticket and a complimentary commemorative keychain/bottle opener as a souvenir. Tickets also available at the event.
The Foggy Coast Brewers home brewing club was founded in 2012 by Jeff Neumeier, Tim Bray and Jack Ridley. The club’s mission is to provide a fun, educational, and tasty forum for fermenters of beverages (beer, wine, kombucha, etc.) or food to share their creations, experience, and knowledge with other like-minded enthusiasts. The meetings are open to anyone in the community that brews or is interested in learning to brew. Contact them at foggycoastbrewers@gmail.com or facebook.com/groups/foggycoastbrewers.
