Brewers United for Real Potables (BURP) is a club, founded in the fall of 1981 by avid homebrewers. It has grown to be one of the largest homebrew clubs in the world with almost 300 members. BURP's home is the Maryland and Virginia metro area around Washington DC USA. BURP's mission is to promote the production and knowledge of good beer.      An Imperial Gathering An impressive set of judges stepped forward to evaluate the imperial beer entries. Plenty of talk about beer and everything else in the dim confines of "The Lab"
