Brew Your Own magazine has set the standard in homebrew education with their BYO Boot Camps. Pulling in the best lecturers on the most prevalent homebrew topics has made each past event a big success. The next Boot Camp will be in sunny San Diego, at the most opportune time to escape the chill of winter, February 2nd & 3rd, 2018.
If you’re able to book now, you’ll receive Early Bird pricing of $450, for two full-day boot camps. The best thing about these boot camps is each topic is presented on for an entire day, giving you the chance to discuss the topic with your group and expert speaker in-depth. If you’re looking to get serious, the Turning Pro Boot Camp is offered over the course of both days.

Take a closer look- I hope to see you in San Diego!
