Swap Meet 5/23, 10am-2pm @ Actual Brewing

The SODZ swap meet returns for a great chance to do some spring cleaning, or acquire more equipment. The swap meet is a garage sale/swap style gathering where you can bring equipment you no longer need and trade or sell it to someone that does.

When: Saturday May 23rd, 10am-2pm, rain or shine.
Where: Actual Brewing Company, 655 N. James Rd. Columbus, OH. 43229

If you are bringing equipment to swap or sell, try to bring a folding table too. If you don’t have equipment, come anyways and find something you never knew you needed!

SODZ will be grilling up burgers and dogs, please bring a side to share. ABC is homebrew friendly if you want to share.

You can park in the front, or around the back by the dock doors for easy unloading. Please note that the ABC taproom is open from 12pm-5pm, so please respect their space and customers, and purchase a few great pints as well to thank them!

Sign up below if you are coming so we know how much food to bring.

Please note that SODZ does not mediate disputes over transactions or refunds. Mike Beargie will be at the May 11th, 2015 SODZ meeting to answer any questions
