News


     The beer, wine, and homebrewing industries are noteworthy ones to the homebrewer, full of a number of news items. Keeping up on news items provides us with a better perspective on beer, wine and homebrewing, but also gives us something to talk about over a brew.

     The Wootown Brewers web site offers a number of links to feeds provided by beer, wine, and homebrewing web sites. We are not responsible for the content of these news items, however, we do think they provide a valuable resource to our members.

     Please be sure to patronize these web sites and their owners who thankfully provide this service free of charge.
