June is another busy month: at Haggard Barrel, Tour De Lucé bike ride, disc golf at Highland Park (with beers at Venn Brewing afterward), Intro to Saké monthly education, two presentations at Homebrew Con in Asheville, game night, surely some group brews, more bike rides, and one-off events!

In mid-July we have the annual Summer Party coming up with Low Gravity competition (less than 5% ABV), Smoked Food competition, potluck food, bottle share, and Garage Sale (sell, give, trade, or barter).

Brewers of all levels and all specialties -- beer, mead, wine, cider, kombucha, saké -- are welcome to join club meetings, events, get-togethers, and shin-digs any time. Take a look at the calendar and come by. Ping the club email address with any questions or ideas.
Cheers!

Elbow grease. Alkaline cleaner. Acidic sanitizer.
They say that 80% of brewing is cleaning. Tonight the education topic will focus on that. Bring some homebrew to share (or at least a tasting glass if you are between batches) and learn a thing or two.
Northeast Minneapolis. East Side Neighborhood Services. 7-9pm. Everyone is welcome!

Elbow grease. Alkaline cleaner. Acidic sanitizer.
When was the last time you took apart your ball valves and pumps to *properly* clean them?
What are the appropriate tools to get your brewery back to a like-new shiny state?
The education topic this month will cover cleaning and sanitizing topics, so bring a (clean) tasting glass and some homebrew (if you have it; no worries if not) and pick up some cleaning tips.
Third Thursday.
Northeast Minneapolis.
East Side Neighborhood Services.
Thu May 21 7-9pm.
Everyone is welcome!

Tonight: A triangle test for pressure vs. non-pressure fermented beer. Two cups have one process; the other cup has the other. Can you tell them apart?

Pressure fermentation is intended to suppress esters and create cleaner beer. When served blind, can you tell the difference for pressure vs. non-pressure samples in a triangle test? Next week, Thu Apr 16 7-9pm at ESNS, we will cover some club business, go through this experiment, and share some homebrews.
Everyone is welcome to join regardless of skill level. Learn some technical, sensory, and tasting terms and approaches.

Spring has sprung and the club has plenty going on this month.
- The *tomorrow* is at Venn Brewing to drink tasty beverages from some of our friends. Stop by for a pint!
- The education topic in a couple weeks is the long-awaited return of a triangle test experiment to identify pressure vs. non-pressure fermented versions of the same beer. Everyone will be served three glasses where one is different. Can you tell the difference -- and will it be the process you expect?
- As the weather allows, folks will get together for disc golf and group bike rides -- and maybe bike rides to disc golf courses!
- At the end of the month will be another board game night, so get those dice ready!
Everyone is welcome to join club meetings and events any time. The club has brewers of all levels, including folks getting into their first batches, others with decades of experience, collaborations, experiments, and creative adventures! Stop by any time and meet up!
