This is the final year for the Bacon and Brews fest, but with an exciting change for the send-off: dogs are allowed!!! As long-time participants we are sad to see this event retire, but are happy to have watched it grow over the years. Let's lift a taster glass for one last toast!

Last night we had a presentation from our esteemed VP Andy on malt sensory analysis. We tasted base malts, crystal malts, and roasted malts. We even had a test at the end having to taste a combination of these malts and had to pick out the individual malts that made up that wort. Big thanks to Andy for putting on this presentation for our members!!

Were you a little disappointed to learn that beer in a bag was actually just a hoax? So were we. But if you want to chat with some people about how we *could* make something like this happen, we are your people.

We meet the fourth Thursday of each month. Topics span the continuum of brewing beer, including style details, trivia, hops, fermentation, and you guessed it, packaging! 🍻
