There were several Irish beers and a great black + tan thanks to Corey. Custom Club AHA Renewal I signed us up for the AHA referral programContinue reading “March 2023 Meeting Minutes”

This month’s mini-club competition (stout) was a huge success. We had nine entries which were flighted blind, all at once. This gave us a much better chance to compare the beers against each other. Congrats to Ken for winning with his Imperial Stout. Second went to George for his Pastry Stout and third went toContinue reading “February 2023 Meeting Minutes”

SomeContinue reading “December 2022 Meeting Minutes”

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”

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.

We had a great turnout at our April meeting which took place at the Santa Fe Brewing Co Beer Hall.
