House of Beer: A Home-brewing Workshop for Catholic Men

Saturday, June 27, 2026 at 8:15 AM | Stievenard Hall, St. Bernadette

Facilitators: Kelly Montgomery, head brewer, Third Eye Brewing; Brad Bursa, Dir. of Evangelization, Stella Maris

Is this a workshop, a retreat, or just hanging out with the guys? We’re not really sure. But we do know it will be fun and informative. Join brothers-in-law Brad and Kelly for a day all about beer. Learn how to brew your own beer at home, get a sense of the Catholic Church’s history of beer making, and discover the artistry behind good beer from a nationally acclaimed brewer. Plus, we’ll eat some great food all day long. Participants must be 21 or older to attend.
