Our intraclub home-brew competition. 

The BOMBing Run is an annual intraclub home-brew competition for members of the Band of Media Brewers. It is where we brew previously agreed upon styles three times a year, and taste and declare a winner. It's for fun, to learn and for bragging rights. Sign up today! Details below.
