UP & COMING LOCAL BREWERIES FEATURED AT BLUE DOG
Friday, June 3, starting at 6:30PM
Two friends of Keystone Homebrew Supply are “going pro” in the very near future, and the Blue Dog Pub in Lansdale will be featuring their beers at a special event they call the Semi-Pro Beer Fest on Friday, June 3. Our very own John Stemler, the sales manager at our Montgomeryville store, will be representing his new startup, Free Will Brewing in Perkasie. Long-time customer Scott Rudich will also be there, as the co-founder of Round Guys Brewery in Lansdale. Support some local homebrewers and check them out – from what we’ve sampled so far, you won’t be disappointed!

CHILEAN GRAPES UPDATE
We are eagerly anticipating our second shipment of Chilean grapes to arrive early this week. This shipment will include Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Carmenere. We have extras of all three (and some juices, too), but hurry! Supplies are very limited. The Syrah, which is sold out, will arrive on a later shipment.

JOIN A CSA: LAST CHANCE!
The first delivery of fresh local produce from the Myerov Family Farm arrived this week at our Montgomeryville store, and it looked great. You can still join, too! A membership will give you a better understanding of where your food comes from and how it is grown, and will give you a chance to connect with the people who help grow it.
