The Pierce County MakersFest is a free, all-ages event where youth, families, and adults can explore building, creating, crafting, hacking, and coding and even become Makers themselves. Through displays, demonstrations, and hands-on activities, community makers will share their DIY processes with you. Think of it as a big-show-and-tell celebration!
“AHA Learn to Homebrew Day brings together thousands of people from all over the world, and we encourage anyone who enjoys beer—from brewing beginners and hobbyists, to professionals, to those who might be curious about homebrewing and interested in trying something new—to get involved,” said Gary Glass, director, American Homebrewers Association. “It’s exciting to see the continued growth in popularity of the hobby, which, for beginners, is really easy to get started.”
Washington Homebrewers Association (WAHA) Executive Chair and HoPS Club Treasurer, Garry Lienhard said, “My wife Traci and I brewed our first batch of beer on a Learn to Homebrew Day. This is one of our favorite memories and has created a hobby that we will share for a lifetime. Learn to Homebrew Day is an opportunity you don’t want to miss.”
