Brotherhood Brewing Event
Brotherhood Brewing at Hopsters
292 Centre Street, Newton
Sunday Nov 1, 1 p.m. (end time around 4)

Do you like beer?  Do you know how to make it or want to learn?

Join the Brotherhood at Hopsters on November 12 at 1 p.m. for a brew session.  Hopsters is a fantastic brewpub/brew-your-own facility in Newton Corner owned by TST members Lee and Karen Cooper.  They've graciously offered us an opportunity to host a session for a greatly reduced cost of only $36 per person!

When the beer has finished fermenting (a couple weeks), we will also schedule a bottling (cans anyone?) session.  Come join us for the first (hopefully annual) Brotherhood Brew!
