If you have been considering attending this year’s Siebel Institute Advanced Homebrewing Course in July, here’s something that might be of interest. On the weekend following the completion of the course, the first Sierra Nevada “Beer Camp Across America” will be making a stop on Sunday, July 27 at Navy Pier in Chicago.

Beer Camp is inviting every craft brewer in the nation on a cross-country caravan that will stop in 7 major brewing cities, with Chicago hosting the 4th stop of this beer-based bacchanalia. The events will feature 12 beers from a collaborative 12-pack brewed by a Who’s Who of American brewers. There will be dozens of other beers to try from breweries both local and national as well as food, entertainment, and lots of Midwest hospitality.

Those taking the Advanced Homebrewers Course will not only be able to learn advanced brewing techniques with Ray Daniels, Randy Mosher, Chris White and Chris Graham, you will also be able to experience the amazing brewing culture of the city. For those who choose to stay for a couple of extra days, Beer Camp will be an amazing way to cap off a week of learning, tasting and a ton of fun.

I considered this, but something tells me you don't batch sparge using a cooler.
