It really helps us to know if your club is planning to attend. Please contact us at Beerstock5060@gmail.com about your club's participation with name and club name. This email is going out to various email lists. You may get duplicate emails, sorry about that. :-) If you don't want to receive further emails, feel free to let us know. If you want to serve beer and aren't with a club, check out the paragraph below titled "Club of the Unaffiliated".
Please help us out by mentioning Beerstock to your fellow homebrewers and let us know of any club or person that has been accidentally missed. We sincerely don't want to loose or leave anyone out! As always, talk about the following information with the members of your club and those who plan to attend so all are well informed. Thanks so very much!
We are excited to be organizing Beerstock this year and looking forward to tasting your homebrews, sharing some laughs and seeing old friends. It's so nice to get away from the daily toils to attend a joyous celebration of beer and camaraderie. We look forward to Beerstock every year.
Note: We are planning to have the Beerstock pre-registration, membership and event payments be done in the same fashion as last year using the Washington State Homebrewers Collective (WSHC) site, however, we are having trouble gaining access to some parts of it, as of yet. Please be patient, the committee is almost entirely new and we are facing a huge learning curve, so don't worry...and "have a homebrew!" When we get this figured out, we'll send another email about when you can start registering for my personal, favorite event of the summer!
And now (drum roll) here's everything you need to know about Beerstock 5060-15. (Yep, it's the 15th Beerstock!)
2026 THEME: BEER WARS: ATTACK OF THE CLONES
Whether you’re brewing a perfect "Clone Recipe" of your favorite commercial IPA or crafting a Sith-inspired Stout, we want to see your creativity on full display. Will you join the Light Side with a crisp, golden Pilsner, or does your palate lean toward the Dark Side?
YOUR MISSION
Begun, the Beer Wars have! We aren’t just looking for elite fermentations;
we want to see your club’s best Star Wars-themed efforts:
Themed Beverages
Think Brew-bacca’s Amber Ale or Darth Lager.
Epic Booths
Transform your pouring station into a Cantina or a Sandcrawler.
Costumes
From Jedi Robes to Mandalorian Armor, let’s see those outfits!
Start your brew day soon—you don’t want to be caught with a stuck sparge when the Republic calls for reinforcements.
Out-brew, out-costume, and out-decorate your fellow clubs to claim ultimate glory.
Please transmit this message to your fellow club members and any allies across the Washington system.
We’ll see you at the lake on July 18th.
May the Froth be with you!
BEERSTOCK 5060: Explain...!
Beerstock is a homebrew beerfest with the added goal of bringing together a broad variety of homebrewers, from different backgrounds and different clubs, to make new friendships and share brewing tips and tricks, while savoring each other's brews. Senate Bill 5060 was the bill that passed which makes it legal to transport homebrew and share homebrew in Washington state. Unlike most brewfests, you can camp overnight, and just like when you go camping, bring your tent, toothbrush and a cooler full of food, etc. (more info below)
At this year's Beerstock event some of the proceeds will go to Polio Plus because we truly believe that beer can make the world a better, healthier place.
