Welcome to WIZA

Whidbey Island Zymurgy Association or WIZA was established on August 25, 2011 and we are dedicated to sharing and spreading the knowledge and art of home brewing.

Purpose of WIZA

• The purpose of the Whidbey Island Zymurgy Association (WIZA) shall be the practice and study of the art, science and history of brewing and fermenting beer and mead. The WIZA will also promote the gathering, dissemination, and perpetuation of facts and knowledge of this science. The WIZA will serve as a forum for education, research and experimentation. This will be key to exploring technology and techniques that lead to a greater appreciation of variety and quality.
• Membership will of course involve the consumption of samples which will allow for examination of various styles of home brewed beverages for the purposes of competition, evaluation, feedback and problem solving.
• We will be advocates for the responsible consumption of beverages containing alcohol. The WIZA will make every effort to detour the operation of a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol by any member or by any participant in any club event, or the provision of alcoholic beverages to minors.
• It is policy of the WIZA to brew and consume beer strictly for education and fun. Under no circumstances does the WIZA support or condone in any manner the sale or barter of any home brewed beer. The purpose of this society is an educational non-profit, namely to provide a medium for interested persons over the age of 21 to learn about, share information on, and develop skills in responsible brewing methods in the home environment.
