The Association of Long Island Homebrew Clubs (AssLIHC) are holding another social event for Tri-Club Members—those who have the membership add-on feature for full-benefits of The Handgrenades Homebrew & Craft Beer Club [HHCBC], Long Island Beer and Malt Enthusiasts [LIBME] and Brewer’s East End Revival [B.E.E.R.]. Of course, everyone is welcome to come hang out, but ASSLIHC members will get certain advantages. Events like these are some of the many advantages of being a tri-club member.

For this event, we will be celebrating the one year anniversary of WA Meadwerks. Joe and Roger will have a bunch of new releases that weekend that you do not want to miss. We will also be visiting Ryan and Melissa over at 27A Brewery. All ASSLIHC members will receive 2 drink tickets that can be redeemed at either location. Tickets must be used that day and will be useless after that day. Don’t forget to tip your bartenders!

Another great opportunity is that 27A Brewery will be having a Wort Share that day. Ryan Cooke, Mike Ingenito and Gregg Kelley wrote a recipe for an American Stout for a Wort Share last year and will be brewing that recipe brewing 90 gallons of that same stout recipe for a Wort Share the day of this social event. [Wort Share allotments have been allocated].

We will be pouring five seasonal beers and three ciders for your enjoyment. Stop by to sample, meet the homebrewers and inquire about how you can start home-brewing or getting involved with the Club!

” Bay Fest is a celebration of Long Island craft beer, the people who brew it and the community that surrounds it. Since we began making beers 7 years ago at Great South Bay Brewery, it’s been a dream of ours to host an annual festival at our brewery that brings together the close knit family of local brewers both professional and amateur for a day of great beers with great friends. It’s safe to say that we all got into this business for the love of beer, and nothing brings out the true meaning of craft beer then sharing it with others. With that being said, we want to invite you, the craft beer drinker, to join us for our Seventh Annual Bay Fest on June 1st, 2019 at Great South Bay Brewery in Bay Shore to share this day with us. In addition to the incredible beers being served there will also be great food provided by food trucks, local vendors, games, and much, much more! ” –Eventbrite (Link Below)
