The Pgh Brewmasters Club holds meetings every third wednesday at the Sharp Edge Creekhouse. They are a group of people who are interested in different beers and they hold tastings throughout the year.
We have set up to host a Commercial vs. Homebrew beer tasting with them tentatively set up for June.
We are looking for 4-5 volunteers to donate their keg brews, we are looking for different varieties. I think Pete is donating for this one, so that leave 3-4 more people. Let us know! If you want to check out their website heres the link- http://www.pghbrewmasters.com/

Count me in, too....
I'd like to have my beer considered to be a contender in this Commercial vs. Homebrew "throwdown" as well, provided I have a worthy batch ready. This 'contest' may have arisin from an idea that I proposed to Hart Johnson and Christine sometime last year at a Pgh Brewmasters tasting!!! I thought it would be neat to have a homebrew or two thrown in, unannounced, as part of her regular tastings, just to see what kind of response it would generate against the commercial stuff. Very interesting!!!............................................................Mike Moretti
I'm there...
You can count on me to have a few kegs for each event. I've worked the past two Millvale festivals representing Vecenies with Tony and managed to escape each time with out getting arrested! I'm going for the hat trick this year! Oh, and the Pgh Brewmasters Club looks to be a good time as well.

Count me in for a keg for the June event. I'll have to look at my schedule for August.

Thanks a lot for getting us involved in these two events. They sound pretty awesome. I will gladly give a keg for each. If we do the Millvale thing I'm not positive whether or not I will be able to go there and serve beer, but I will definitely donate some.
