Usually, the only way to drink homebrewed beer around here is to be part of the homebrewing community or to know someone who is. But on Saturday, local homebrewers are opening up their taps at the new Just Economics Brew-off event, 2-4 p.m. outside the Wedge Brewing Co., 125B Roberts St.
More than 40 homebrewers will be featured at this competition, serving a wide variety of homebrewed beers. Various awards and honors will be bestowed, including one from the Beer Guy, who will pick his favorite ale or lager served at the event. Member of the public can also choose their favorite beer in a people’s choice award. Admission is $15, which also covers membership in the Just Economics organization, which is working to promote a “living wage” in Asheville (in case you’re wondering, that would be $9.85 an hour for employers who provide insurance, $11.85 for those who don’t).
Bring along some spending money to buy chicken served by Kyte’s Catering, and it’s a good idea to bring a lawn chair. But leave your pets at home.
