Angelo/Barley’s and Mike/Lineage
We are encouraged to tag and like your local breweries to help generate social media traffic. Also, both of those breweries are happy to sell their beer in kegs or sell you beer that they fill into your own homebrew kegs. Contact them to arrange/ask questions.

Club Social Media Position
The club is exploring adding an additional position to more thoroughly use social media. Contact a board member if you’re interested.

Brewer Of The Year
We are still exploring how to conduct the Brewer of the Year competition.

December Meeting
We are attempting to hold our December meeting in person. We are currently looking for a location that can accommodate us with sufficient separation for a group our size. If you have any ideas, please contact a board member

New Member
