And so it was decreed that every Third Friday of the month will be FOAM night.

We usually meet on the third Friday of the month. Of course there are exceptions like the Summer Party, the Christmas Party and the occasional meeting that has many conflicts and is moved by vote of the club. Check the Calendar for the location and date of the meeting.

At our meetings we have a 'Beer of the Month' aka BOM. Here is the schedule for our BOMs.

The BOM is usually a style of beer although that can vary. We do a 'Non-Beer' month that is Ciders, Wines Meads, etc. Please bring samples of BOM either homebrew or commercial for all to try.

We have a raffle every month. You get one entry for a 12 oz. bottle and 2 entries for a 22 oz or larger bottle. We usually do 2 small or one large bottle for 2 entries. The winner is drawn from a hat and gets the stash of entries

We do 3 in-club competitions a year. The Competition involves members submitting 2 entries of a style or ingredient into a hat. Each member draws 1 entry and must brew that style or with that ingredient. One competition is a style selected, another is an ingredient. The third competition varies from year to year. For instance we have done one with beers over 7.5% or the best clone recipe compared to the original. We select what kind of competition the third one is at the beginning of the year.

We do other activities through out the year like road trips and other beer-related things so check our Events page and our Calendar.
