Saturday, November 1st is National Learn to Brew Day sponsored by the American Homebrewers Association. What easier way to learn to brew than to win a free Pinter Home Brewing Kit, along with the ingredients to make two batches of beer? Join the Fayetteville Lovers of Pure Suds (FLOPS) homebrew club at Fossil Cove and sign up. There is no charge to enter the drawing.

And while you are there you may want to sample the "Big Blimp Barleywine" a collaboration between Fossil Cove and the FLOPS. It was brewed last May to celebrate Big Brew Day. It is hoppy, it is strong, it is good.
