Welcome to the Puget Sound Amateur Wine and Beermakers Club

The objectives of the Puget Sound Amateur Wine and Beer makers Club are to foster a general interest in wines and beers and to give club members a means of exchanging information on wine making and beer making methods, materials and equipment. Meetings are held on “even” months (Feb, April, etc) on the first Friday evening. We have other activities during most “odd” months. Meetings start off with a social period where members share their wine and beer in conversation followed by a great potluck and then there is a short business meeting, technical seminar/discussion, and/or a guest speaker. We end the meeting with a raffle of items brought and donated by members. There are about 50 club members and a typical monthly meeting has 30 attendees.

Our General Club Meetings are held the 1st Friday of each even month (Feb, April, etc) at the Federal Way Senior Center, 4016 So. 352nd Street, Auburn, WA 98001 (except July). During the other/odd months we typically have events at other facilities or members’ homes. You can email us at PSAWBC@yahoo.com or watch here for details.

Our General Meeting is a potluck where each member or couple brings an appetizer, a main dish, side dish, casserole, salad, or dessert to share. Members also bring their own table setting of plates, flatware and wine glasses. 

For our March gathering we will be meeting at Eric and Serena’s house in Graham on Saturday March 2nd at 3 pm.  This will be for our in-house beer competition.  See email for details.  The next meeting at the Federal Way Senior Center will be on Friday April 5th at 6:30 pm.
