November 2022 Meeting Minutes

This was the first meeting we’ve had since the time change and it was definitely a cold and dark evening. Fortunately we had a lot of dark or strong beers to warm us up! We had a total of 16 beers with 8 club members in attendance. The beers were also split evenly between homebrewsContinue reading “November 2022 Meeting Minutes”

SDCCB Club Shirts / Apparel Order

I know we’ve been talking about a new shirt order for a while, and we have several club members who joined after our last shirt order, but we ran into some hiccups with our previous supplier no longer doing apparel. I found an online company, UPrinting, that has some decent prices at the numbers we’llContinue reading “SDCCB Club Shirts / Apparel Order”

July 2022 Meeting Minutes

As they tend to be for mid-summer meetings, we had a small turn out last night, only 6 of us, but we still enjoyed several great beers. We had Ponderosa’s gold medal winning Italian pilsner. It was simply divine. Big thanks to Corey for bringing a fresh growler of it. The star hit of theContinue reading “July 2022 Meeting Minutes”

May 2022 Meeting Minutes

We had another great meeting at Santa Fe Brewing Co this month. The number of beers brought was a little more manageable this time, with a total of 18.

Big Brew 2022 at Beer Creek

We had a great Big Brew event this year at Beer Creek Brewing Company! There were seven different beers (plus one mead) being brewed this year. The weather was perfect for spending the day outside and Beer Creek was an amazing location. They provided 165’F water which was perfect for mashing in. There were alsoContinue reading “Big Brew 2022 at Beer Creek”

April 2022 “Meading” Minutes

We had a great turnout at our April meeting which took place at the Santa Fe Brewing Co Beer Hall. There were fifteen members who showed up, including two which was their first time coming to one of our meetings. David dubbed this the “meading” since we had 12 different homebrewed meads to sample! SomeContinue reading “April 2022 “Meading” Minutes”
