Event Details


Join us for our October meeting at The Referend Bier Blendery in Kutztown, PA.

Situated near the Appalachian Mountains lies a historic farm with agricultural and fermentation history. The Referend boasts a stunning portfolio of spontaneously fermented beers that can rarely be replicated. Founder and brewer, James, will share his knowledge on spontaneous fermentation, barrel aging, and using locally sourced ingredients.

Learn how his brews are inoculated with 100% wild yeast and how to incorporate local terroir in beers, wines, and ciders. While sipping on these unique ferments, don't forget to take in the view!
