Events
LBG members put on and attend a number of events throughout the year. The guild’s signature event, Brewfest, is held each September at Clinton Lake.
June Hoppy Hour
Harbour Lights hosted the LBG’s Hoppy Hour on June 6. Hoppy Hours are the first Thursday of each month and are open to LBG members and friends and those interested in joining the club, homebrewing and craft beer.

Several LBG members participated in the 10th annual KC Nanobrew Festival on May 18 at Berkley Riverfront Park in Kansas City, Mo. The event is the oldest festival in Kansas City dedicated to connecting local craft homebrewers with the community. It’s also one of the largest homebrew-focused festivals in the country.
