Two great events over the past two Sundays for the Baltibrew community.

April 10th, Baltibrew made 40 gallons of a new beer designed by Brian "Stillwater" Strumke, and sent 7 batches of beer home with members. We also debuted our rent-able starter fermentation kits. By all accounts, the event was a great success with some new members appearing, and a veritable smorgasbord of food on hand throughout the day; not to mention the excellent beers shared by Baltibrew members. Brian also brought a case of his own "white label" beers for the club to taste. Excellent stuff.

We should see some of the results of that brew at our May meeting, and more at the June meeting and brew. Speaking of June brew, we are tentatively talking with Rob Perry of the Brewer's Art about doing a similar brew, this time at John Jester's spot. We'll keep you posted on that.

This past Sunday, April 17th Baltibrew sponsored Chilibrew 3.0 at the Hampden-based Baltimore Free Farm in conjunction with the release of Baltimore's new local currency, the B-Note and Localize It. After expenses, the club raised nearly $3,000.

Proceeds will be split evenly and given to the Velocipede Bike Project, and the Baltimore Free School.

The crowd was large from start to finish, with most brewers and chili makers completely selling out by the end of the event.

Made some great contacts with prospective brewers.

Can't wait for the next Chilibrew.

Don't forget, May regular meeting is coming up on May 5th. Yes, that's Cinco de Mayo, a.k.a. Mexican St. Patty's Day. Perhaps we can get Danny to put Negra Modelo on tap that night.
