Land-Grant Brewing Company

What

There is no formal agenda however bring chairs and if you have any folding tables those would be appreciated. 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. Please use the form below so that we know how many people are coming and can purchase the right quantity of food.

Other stuff to know is that we will be in the Brewery (not in the tap room), we will have a keg of beer from Land-Grant and most importantly for some of you the OSU game will be on in the tap room. Let me repeat, if you are planning to watch the OSU game why not come and watch it with us at Land-Grant.

You are allowed to bring homebrew but please be discrete.

Our host has three requests. Please respect their wishes:

1. Everyone must be 21, no exceptions.
2. Drinking and driving is a serious and deadly felony. Make appropriate travel arrangements.
3. We’re shutting down at 11pm.

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

What

Learn to Homebrew Day was established by the American Homebrewers Association (AHA) in 1999 to encourage people to homebrew. The event involves homebrewers bringing their equipment to a location and brewing beer while people new to the hobby ask questions.  More information on the event and the history of it can be found here.

If you plan on brewing please be patient when it comes time to chill your beer as this can be a bottleneck at events like this.

What we Provide

• Cold water for chilling.
• A place to put your spent grains.
• Good times.

You will need to bring all the equipment you need to have to brew this includes but is not limited too:
