Details:

Pete Slosberg, best known for Pete’s Wicked Ale and Mavericks: Not Yet World Famous Session beers, joined a crew of homebrewers and pitmaster Dan Frengs on New Years Day to smoke malted barley along with various BBQ meats. Brewers from the Silicon Valley Sudzers homebrew club were invited to participate in a competition to brew beers using the smoked BBQ malt. Each brewer received three pounds of smoked malt per entry. While enjoying delicious BBQ, attendees will have the opportunity to judge which of the beers best pairs with the BBQ and which of the beers is “smokiest.”
