Monthly meetings are dedicated to exploring the lore and craft of brewing beer as well as the proper enjoyment of the brewer's products. This includes bringing foods to the meetings that will complement and heighten the appreciation of fine ales and the occasional lager. No distinction is made between professionally brewed and distributed beers and the contents of our host's cellar or our members' best efforts.

We meet every 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month.  Every other month we host a brew day and have a handful of other events each year such as microbrewery trips, equipment build days, and homebrew parties.  Though our club is very focused on homebrewing and having fun, it has been very successful at helping members, regardless of their initial level of expertise, become better brewers through the sharing of knowledge and experience.   The events and meetings are open to all who are interested, feel free to sign up for our mailing list which can be found on the website.
