Pacific Gravity Home Brewers Club is proud to announce the 5th Annual Los Angeles Belgian Brew Challenge.  This is your opportunity to show off your brewing prowess for anything Belgian.  Once again, the event will be hosted by Los Angeles Ale Works in Hawthorne, CA.  Our Best in Show beer will be brewed as a Pro-Am collaboration with LAAW.

Judging day will be at 9:oo AM on Sunday March 15th. Registration for Judges and Stewards is now open!  Registration for entries will begin on February 2nd, and run through March 6th.
