DIYine: A Celebration of Homebrewing

The fifth annual DIYine (pronounced D.I.Wine) celebrates all things homebrew this Saturday, at the Museum of Art & History. Co-sponsored by Seven Bridges Organic Brewing Supply, this festive tasting event supports the nonprofit Santa Cruz Fruit Tree Project, pioneers in harvesting and processing the county’s excess of backyard fruit, and will help the group’s efforts to plant community orchards. An incredible variety of artisanal beers, fruit wines, meads, liquors, cocktails, absinthe, ciders, coconut kefir, elderberry syrup, and soft drinks, like the famous Breath of Fire ginger ale, will be featured, as well as food, live music and a silent auction. Come out to learn more about the Fruit Tree Project and pick up some tips on brewing your own libations at home.
