Where

Lineage Brewing Company
2971 N High St
Columbus, OH 43202

What

There is no formal agenda. This meeting is a potluck where the club provides the main course and members provide a side or desert. Because the club is providing the main course this meeting is limited to those members in good standing and their +1.

Lineage, is closed to the public and just open for the club event.

Please remember:

  1. Everyone must be 21, no exceptions.
  2. Drinking and driving is a serious and deadly felony. Make appropriate travel arrangements.

Dirty Santa

Dirty Santa is a gift exchange where you bring a large format (750ml or 22oz bomber) bottle of commercial beer and put it inside a gift bag. One person starts by taking a bag off the table that’s not theirs and this continues until everyone has a gift. Basically it’s a white elephant gift exchange but instead of gifting junk you are giving delicious craft beer. The only requirements for this are that you buy a quality beer and bring it concealed in a gift bag.

Club Competition

Christmas/Winter Speciality (21B), Belgian Specialty (16E), Wood Aged (22C), Speciality (23, convince us it’s Christmas).

The February Club Only “British Invasion” competition results are as follows. Steve Henry increases his lead in Brewer of the Year Standings.

  1. Bill Bopp – RIS – Anastasia Clone
  2. Steve Henry – Barleywine – Barleywino
  3. Gautam Bagchi – IPA – Alans Hoppiness

Here is Bill’s winning recipe.

Malt:
16 lb Pale Malt
2.5 lb roasted barley
1 lb wheat malt
14 oz chocolate
10 oz light chocolate (original recipe called for 1.25 of chocolate, but all I had was 14oz, so I added light chocolate to make up the difference)
Mashed at 152F
Hops:
1.9oz Magnum (12.5%) @ 60 min
0.56 oz N. Brewer @ 20 min
0.50 oz N. Brewer @ 1 min
