Keystone Cup Standings
NEW WEBSITE
The new building in Montgomeryville is fantastic, but somehow it just wasn’t enough of a change for us. So with the help of a terrific team at Inverse Paradox, we have also completely revamped our website to be much more attractive and user-friendly. Some of it is still in the works (particularly the e-commerce interface), but there is already a lot of great information there. Check it out!
NEW MONTGOMERYVILLE HOURS
For added convenience and less confusion, we have extended our Monday hours in Montgomeryville, and will now be open until 7:00pm on Mondays. (We also needed an excuse to spend more time in our great new building.) Here is our revised Montgomeryville schedule:
Monday through Thursday 10-7
Friday 10-9
Saturday 10-5
Sunday 11-5
WAR OF THE WORTS XVI RESULTS
The War is over! It was an epic battle, with 765 homebrews pitted against each other in fierce combat. Fortunately, there were many winners and no casualties (aside from a broken bottle or two). Congratulations to all the winning brewers, and especially to Blake Morris, who captured Best of Show with a remarkable raspberry lambic. You can see the complete list of winners, along with all of the generous sponsors of the event, on the Keystone Hops’ website: http://www.keystonehops.org/sponsors16.htm
KEYSTONE CUP STANDINGS
The quest for the Cup is on again, and the first leg (the War of the Worts) of this annual homebrew club competition is in the books. The Keystone Hops, which currently holds the Cup, has jumped out to an early 14-point lead over the 2nd place club, the Lehigh Valley Homebrewers. We’ve seen these leads disappear at the Malt Madness, though, like a Berliner Weisse on a hot summer day. The competition is tighter than usual this year, with very strong showings from the Brewing Network, WHALES and other local homebrew clubs. With a little planning and some inspired brewing, your club may get to take home the Keystone Cup this fall! For current standings and competition rules, visit our new website:

Ferment on!
