Our next club meeting will be on Wednesday March 4th. Arrive around 7, and we’ll start at 7:30. The address is Fair Isle Brewing at 936 NW 49th
Our duels this month will be Scottish Heavy’s and an array of smoked beers! When you arrive, try out each and vote for your favorite.
If you don't know about duels, they are member driven brewing challenges that are either ingredient or style based. Upcoming duels are: 17% beers (Apr) Rye IPA, Stout, Maibock (May) American Pale Ale and Kolsch(Jun). Feel free to join in any current duels or challenge someone else to a new one!
For our education topic, Cassie is back from her trip and will lead us in a discussion and tasting of some common off-flavors.
When you arrive please fill out a nametag and a sticky note with your name and what beer you brought to share.
If you haven't been to one of our meetings, after announcements and a brief education talk we generally split into groups and try one person's beer at a time starting with the lightest, with an opportunity after each for feedback and questions so please keep side conversations to a minimum when the sharer is giving info on their recipe and process so that everyone can hear then there will be a chance for discussion. Please bring a bomber or two or growler of homebrew to share. Don't worry if you don't have any to share this time; just bring yourself.
Fair Isle is now open! We will be meeting in the brewery. The main rules will be no homebrew in the tasting room, no bringing Fair Isle beer into the meeting after it has started, and lastly, we will need to be fully out of the space at 10. We have access to some chairs, but still have need for more, so bring one or two if you can.
Andrew has talked with Trailbend Taproom, the beer bar nearby and they are happy to have us show up after, but the kitchen closes at 10, so head over a little early if you want food.
