Happy Wednesday Brewers/Beer LOVAHS,
Hope your summer is going good and you're enjoying some good summer suds. I know I've enjoyed the influx of session beers and grapefruit IPA's that have been popping up in the commercial side, as well as my "session" (aka 7.6%) saison homebrew. Tomorrow we will once again meet up to talk some business, talk some shop, and, most importantly, drink and give feedback on our latest brews.
Tomorrow, Thursday 7/16, as usual we will be meeting at Nepenthe at 8PM. Bring a chair, homebrew to share, and a good spirit as we discuss the following:
AGENDA:
- Quick update on our new bylaw fomulation
- August group brew discussion
- Upcoming event updates (Hopped, Mashout)
- Iron Brewer Challenge Discussion/Tasting, Wood Edition
- Homebrew Sampling
See you then!

Hey everyone -
It's that time of the month again where we get together, talk shop, make fun of Brady, and sample our glorious homebrews.
As always, bring beer to sample, a chair of some sort, and a good attitude. we will be starting at 8pm with the meeting portion, but if you come at 7:30pm you'll have the added bonus of taking part in Kristofer's Educational Experimental Triangle Test where you'll get to sample beers and fill out a questionnaire (way better then the forms you have to fill out at the Dr's office). so stop by early if you can swing it.
Agenda:
- 7:30pm - Kristofer "you crazy guy" Triangle experiment Test
- Quick by-laws status update
- June Brew Update
- Upcoming Events (including a special reveal)
- Educational topic
- DRINK

Please first note that because of scheduling conflicts this month's meeting will take place upstairs at BLUE PIT BBQ (aka WHISKEY OPEN). You don't need to bring a chair, but they will be allowing us to bring homebrew for sampling like we always do, just be sure to keep it upstairs.
As a thank you to Blue Pit BBQ for having us, it would be great if we could support them by also purchasing beers/food before, during, and after the meeting (they have great BBQ).
Starting at 8PM THIS THURSDAY we will be discussing the following:
AGENDA:
- Chiibrew status update
- June Group Brew Info
- Non-profit status
- Special guest pro brewer educational topic
- Iron Brewer Challenge Tasting - Chili pepper edition
- Homebrew Sampling/Constructive Criticism/Tomfoolery
See you there.

This Saturday hundreds of bars, breweries, shops and homebrew clubs all over the country will host their local communities to brew on-site for the national, same-day homebrewing session known as AHA Big Brew. At noon Central time, all homebrewers and beer lovers are encouraged to raise a glass of homebrew in a simultaneous toast that celebrates those who craft outstanding homemade beer, mead and wine for their friends and loved ones. This year Nepenthe Homebrew is sponsoring 3 local clubs as we brew, eat, educate and of course, enjoy a homebrew or two!
Brewers from Baltibrew, Brewtherville Labs, and Ladybrew will be descending on Nepenthe homebrew at 10am to brew beer, eat foods, and be merry. I hope all of you can attend! Its free, open to the public and we encourage everyone to stop by and have a beer, eat some grub and learn about the brewing process!!
You are HIGHLY encouraged to bring everyone you know, bring some grillable grub and a libation or two to Nepenthe Homebrew. Brewing starts at 10 am, we'll be out in the parking lot!

Happy New Year!
Good morning folks,
Here's the agenda items for this Thursday's (January 15th) meeting. We will be meeting at 8PM at Nepenthe Homebrew. As always, bring a chair and some brew to share.
AGENDA:
1. Group Brew Details (Jan 18th)
2. New Club Positions/Questions
3. Dues reminder
4. Iron Brewer Challenge
5. Libation
Note that if you're competing in the iron brewer challenge, you should arrive a little earlier to try and ply as many people with your smokey wares as possible. Sampling for Iron Brewer is completely unstructured so bring a glass and be ready to try as many peated brews as you can before Brady gives us a run-down of what peated malt is and we vote on whose beer is yummiest (or least gross)!
Thanks Everyone,
Amy Huntington

As always, bring a chair and some brew to share. And whether you can make it or not, we'd like to wish everyone a happy holidays. Travel safe and as always, drink good beer (even in the face of opposition such as corona drinkin' uncles or white zin drinkin' aunts):
Agenda:
- JANUARY BREW DETAILS
