Come check out a club meeting! We meet on the fourth Tuesday of every month at 7:00 and we will post the location here, on Facebook and Meetup. We meet at Breweries with great beers to purchase and homebrew to sample! You are welcome to bring a bottle of your own brew to share, but it is not necessary. (No commercial beer, please)
Everyone is welcome, from those just into beer, starting up the hobby of homebrewing, to professional brewers, many of whom started out here as homebrewers.
Special Events
We host a monthly ‘First Friday Out’ (FFO) at a local brewery, cidery, meadery or tap house. (There are plenty to choose from in our neighborhood). Our primary club fundraising event, typically held at our August meeting, is our annual auction. At the auction you can bid to get great deals on brewing equipment, dinners or tasting experiences, brewing classes or opportunities to brew with experienced brewers in our club, ingredients, social activities and whatever else gets offered up or donated. A combination swap meet and brewing/beverage participation opportunity. In December we host a “Bomber Exchange” where we do a white elephant exchange for great beers. We participate in a Club Picnic in the summer with our sister homebrewing club, Indian Peak Alers in Longmont.
