Our guest Brewmaster will explain the history, the brewing techniques and the use of various ingredients in beer making. Included with this, the Great Lakes Medieval Faire Brewmaster will help you learn and experience the beer-making process so that you can start your own home brewery!

    Already a home brewmaster? Hone your skills by competing in this year's First Annual North East Ohio State Home Brew Competition, held the last Saturday of the Faire, August 9th. His Majesty is anxious to tip a few with you and taste your unique brew as you share it with your friends.
