BEER BOTTLING

We had a fantastic beer-brewing workshop about 4 weeks ago, this Friday is finally the time to bottle it! Participants were divided into 3 groups, brewing 3 different beer - 1 stout, 1 wit beer and 1 IPA. So far it already smells good! Just 2 more weeks, and they will take away their first 6-pack!

For those who missed it last time, don’t worry, the next one is coming! On 17 April, beer-brewing workshop is happening again. Keep an eye on the event updates, if you would like to join!
