BOMBers get warm reception at winterfest 2022

3/1/2022

 
Members of the Band of Media Brewers poured at the 2022 Winterfest in Kennett Square, PA on Saturday FEB 26. The temperature was cold, but the beer enthusiasts gave our brewers a warm reception. It was a sold out crowd for this year's festival and we had an opportunity to share our knowledge, passion and well...our beer. The crowd was very complimentary of the homebrew line up being offered and many came back for 2nds, 3rds and 4ths! 
BOMBers brewing for this year's festival included Kevin Meyer, David Higgins, John Ponte, Jake Wilson, Adam Ritter and Dave Bill. Many thanks to the Winterfest crew, festival attendees and BOMB volunteers (like Andy Poole) who all made this year's festival a huge success!

​The BOMB has the opportunity to pour at Kennett Winterfest on February 26th. This is a really fun opportunity to share your beer with others and receive great feedback. We have three tickets available for anyone who volunteers to brew/pour, and we may be able to get 1-2 more depending on interest. Please consider participating and representing our club.
Note the sign-up sheet mentions brewing demo. We will not be brewing onsite, but if you'd be willing to bring some of your gear and discuss brewing basics, that would be great.

CANCELLED - 2021(2) New Beer Holiday Party

12/21/2021

 

Thanks to those who showed interest and bought tickets, but unfortunately we need to cancel the New Beer party on Jan. 7th. If you purchased a ticket, you should have already received a refund from Ticketleap. Between the holiday season and continued COVID case rising we get it just may not be a good time to gather in such a large group. To save the club money and focus on next year we are cancelling, and refunding anyone who did buy tickets.
