Expect the event to build on the great success and positive feedback we received from last year. We had hundreds of different beers sampled, tons of food shared, fun activities occured, and lots of comaraderie throughout - as it has been for over 35 years.

----------------------------------

As you probably know, MASHOUT is a 4-day outdoor celebration of the homebrewing hobby near Cumberland, MD (approximately 2 hours from DC, Pittsburgh & Baltimore) held each summer for over 35 years.

The site has a large flat, tree lined camping area near a stream with accommodations for RVs and pull behind campers (no hookups). There are great amenities, including a covered pavilion for community events, a fire pit area, plenty of parking, and the ability to cool off in the adjacent stream (at your own risk!). Many clubs set up their tents together to form small communities for the 3 nights, but others prefer to camp out on their own. Homebrew clubs love to share beer & stories, so even if it was your first time you won't be a stranger for long.

MASHOUT has always been and will continue as a non-profit event designed to gather area brewers and their supporters.

Registration fees are used specifically for expenses related to the event, all organizers are uncompensated volunteers.

MASHOUT (Mid-Atlantic States Homebrewers CampOUT) began in 1988 with the combined efforts of Washington, DC’s BURP (Brewers United for Real Potables) and Frederick, MD’s FOAM (Frederick Original Ale Makers) homebrew clubs.

The first MASHOUT was held at the Hagan Farm (also known as the Mink Farm) in Thurmont, MD and attracted some 60 homebrewers. The event was so popular that it was repeated the next year at the same location. Subsequent MASHOUT’s have been held at Virginia Beach, VA, Fredericksburg, VA, and Flintstone (near Rocky Gap), MD. In 2014, MASHOUT moved to a new, much larger location near Oldtown, MD and Paw Paw, WV on a beautiful bluff overlooking the Potomac River. In 2017, the event moved once again – to a lovely old farm nestled in a valley just over the Pennsylvania line near Bedford (and close to the original site near Rocky Gap State Park in MD).

In 2019 MASHOUT became a completely independent organization and is now an American Homebrewers Association officially-affiliated homebrew club (Club MASHOUT). By registering for this event, you become a "member" of the club. If you would like to be involved in helping to plan and operate this and future MASHOUT's, please contact us at ClubMashout@gmail.com.
