MASHOUT is the Mid-Atlantic States Homebrewers CampOUT, a 4-day outdoor celebration of the homebrewing hobby held each summer. MASHOUT 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 Rocky Gap (MD), where MASHOUT made its home from 1993 on the mountaintop property of BURP members Chuck & Helen Popenoe until 2013. In 2014, MASHOUT moved to a new home at the Organarchy Hop Farm when we outgrew the Popenoe location. 2017 & 2018's MASHOUT were held at Fort Royale Farm to take advantage of its amenities. In 2019 MASHOUT will be held on Property connected with the 1812 Brewery in Cumberland.
Address and directions can be found on the Attendee Instructions page. The location is near Cumberland.
Reorganization
In 2019 MASHOUT is leaving the nest of the BURP Homebrew Club and forming as its own AHA Homebrew club, Club Mashout.
