Terre Foods Classes: Beginning Brewing
THIS SATURDAY, JUNE 6, noon-2pm, Clabber Girl Kitchens
 Have you ever wanted to try your hand at brewing your own beer? It's simpler than you might think, and quite a lot of fun! And you get a delicious beer at a fraction of the cost of high-end exports. Join Brian Morton and Colin Pizerak as they introduce you to the basics of extract brewing (i.e., starting with grain extracts, rather than the more advanced whole grain brewing). This class will cover the equipment, ingredients, and techniques necessary to do extract brewing in your own home.
