🏝️⚔️ Brew Knights – SCHF 2026⚔️🏝️This year the theme is “Island of Brewers” — think tiki vibes, tropical sours, pirate energy, decorated camps, and some of the most creative beers you’ll taste all year. 🍍🌺🍻
It’s seriously one of the best weekends to meet other brewers, hang with clubs from all over SoCal, and taste beers you’ll never find anywhere else.
âś… IMPORTANT: We must have your YES or NO by SUNDAY, JAN 19 so we can turn in our final count for the SCHF callouts.
🗓️ What the weekend looks like
Thursday (Apr 30): Optional early arrival + inaugural bottle share hosted by the CHA Board (they’ll have beers to share too). Details (time/location) coming soon.
Friday: Pro Night (Pro Pour) + judging for campsite “trick-or-treating” / campsite fun (rubric in development).
Saturday: Club Night — homebrew clubs pour their beers, you meet other clubs, and the whole place turns into a giant homebrew celebration.
🌮 Food trucks will be on site.
