National Homebrew Day 2011 - Rivertown Brewing Company

Saturday May 7, 2011 was National Homebrew Day and the Cincinnati Malt Infusers (CMI, which I am apart of), the Bloatarians and some of the other smaller Cincinnati homebrew clubs gathered at Rivertown Brewing Company for the "Big Brew".



Members of the clubs got together to do a collarborative brew on Rivertown's system and those that took part were able to take beer hoome to ferment on their own. Many that decided not to take part of the "pro-style" brew brought their own equipment and brewed in the parking lot. Other, such as myself, just came to hang out and be around fellow homebrewers and check out the brewery. Word has it that over 100 people stopped by during the day and over 300 gallons total were brewed (just over 200 on Rivertown's system).



This was my first time out at Rivertown and it was great to meet their team and check out the brewery. Great bunch of folks. If you have not tried any of their beers, I highly recommend it. I just recently picked up their mixed 12 pack and enjoy each style.

Here are some pictures of the facility.







Brewers love to see healthy fermentation.


Thanks to the folks at Rivertown Brewing for having us out to the Brewery and to all of the homebrewers and vistors that came out to be apart of the day.

Can't wait to see what next year's event brings!
