This year homebrewers in the Pacific Northwest will gather for the first ever Pacific Northwest Homebrewers Conference (PNWHC). The conference will be held March 4-5 in Vancouver, WA. Local clubs have been looking to put on an event of this type since the National Homebrewers Conference (NHC) visited Seattle in 2012. The PNWHC is endorsed by the American Homebrewers Conference and anyone who has attended NHC will feel at home with the event schedule. The conference will feature:
- 24 educational seminars with topics ranging from simplifying your brew day to going pro.
- Pro Brewers Night with over 15 regional breweries pouring beer
- Club Night. Area clubs will be pouring beer and partying!
- Pre-conference bus tours of local breweries
- 2 dinners and a keynote lunch
- Exhibit hall with vendors showing off their gadgets and wares
Due to other commitments, this will be the first year I am missing the National Homebrewers Conference since it came to Seattle. Instead, I’ll be heading to PNWHC instead! Looking forward to enjoying great beer with some great people. For more information on the conference you can visit pnwhc.com.
