Fall 2023 MEGABREW

Home brewers turned pro brewers, at least for the day. We’ll be brewing an imperial stout at Sage Brewing in Pasco from 9am to about 2pm.

Brewers can take home a 5.5-gallon fill of the cooled wort, ready for fermentation. Add whatever yeast, spices, flavorings or hops you want to when you bring it home.

Only a twice-a-year opportunity!

Sign up in the link sent out on facebook and email.

If you have any questions, please email publicist@mcza.org

MCZA Spring 2022 MEGABREW- Cold IPA

Please sign up for the spring MEGABREW here: MCZA Spring 2022 MEGABREW

This year’s spring MEGABREW will be held at Atomic Ale Brewing on April 16th from 9am- until we’re done! (usually around 5pm).

The style brewed will be a cold IPA, however you’ll need to get your own lager yeast and have lagering conditions to do the “cold” style. Otherwise the beer can be fermented as a regular IPA or by using a “warm lager” yeast such as White Lab’s San francisco lager yeast: White Labs San Franscisco Lager yeast

Or a “warm lagering” method as described here: Homebrew academy warm fermented lager method
