RSVP Here

Don’t forget that MASH members are welcome to drop off beer to be anonymously evaluated by one of our 19 BJCP judges. Simply register at onlinebeerscores.com and bring your numbered bottle.

As always, meetings are open to all but please note this does not mean Twin Elephant is open to all. Attendees should be there to attend a MASH meeting not simply for Twin Elephant beer. Bring homebrew to share and a sample glass to help cut down on cups waste.
