Barrel project 2.0 fill day

“We’ve got four barrels full… four barrels of fun!” – Chip Walton

Ok so maybe that wasn’t an exact quote. We did however have Chip Walton of Chop & Brew and Summit Brewing Co. fame (formerly of BrewingTV and Northern Brewer) join us to video archive the day as members of the NBA filled barrels from Barrel Project 2.0.

Barrel project participation is open to NBA members only. JOIN OUR HOMEBREW CLUB HERE to participate in future fill days!
