Do fencing and beer mix? Let’s find out! On April 30, 2016, join us at the Houston Sword Sports Brash Invitational.

Q: I’m not a fencer, can I come?

A: Absolutely! Brash Brewery will be open to the public during our tournament. There’ll be beer, food trucks, music, and of course there’ll be fencing to see! The fencing will start around 11 and continue until 5, but early afternoon is when you’ll get to see the most going on… we think. Fencing tournaments run at different paces based on a few different factors, so these are our best guesses.

Q: I am a fencer, can I come?

A: Yes, as long as you’re over 21. This is a three-weapon tournament. For every event you enter, you’ll get a ticket for one free beer to use when you are done with all your bouts. Top four in each event get crowlers (growler-sized cans) for prizes, and the top finisher in all three events gets three crowlers! Click here to sign up. Preregistration closes April 28, and all events are capped at 16 participants (epee is at 24 now!), so sign up soon. Close of registration is 10:30 for epee, 12:00 for foil, and 1:30 for saber.

Q: Where is it?

A: The Brash Brewery is located at 508 W Crosstimbers Rd, Houston, TX 77018.

Q: Nice logo, can I get it on a t-shirt?

A: Yes, email Liz@HoustonSwordSports.com with your size to preorder a shirt. We’ll have some for sale at the tournament, too.
