February Meeting

Our February meeting will once again be virtual. Tuesday February 16th at 6:30 pm. Watch this space for the Zoom link.

As the weather improves and the vaccine rollout continues, we hope to meet in person again as soon as we can.

This month we will discuss the progress of the barrel project, announce the contest to name the barrel-aged Barley Wine and present information on the National Homebrew Competition (shipping to the competition is free for club members!)

Hope to see you then.

2021 Membership Dues

The dues for your 2021 membership with the Barley Mob Brewers are now due. Membership costs are $30 for an individual membership and $40 for a family membership. You can pay via the Paypal link at the bottom left-had side of this page, or you can make arrangements with Mark Gregory to pay with cash, check or other negotiable assets. If you joined the club in October, November or December 2020, you are not required to pay dues, as we allow your 2020 membership to carryover. Final notice will go out at the end of February. If you don’t pay, you will be removed from the email list and be forced to drink seltzers.


Membership perks include:

  • 10% discount on homebrew supplies at Beverage World
  • Free shipping of entries to homebrew competitions
  • Bulk grain and bulk hop buys
  • Insurance at all club functions
  • Bottle(s) of the English Barleywine aged in Chattanooga Whiskey Barrel
  • Knowledge, knowledge and knowledge
  • Other benefits I can’t think of at the moment

Peach State Brew-Off Results

 

Congratulations to Barley Mob Brewers Mark Gregory, Paul Cahill, Jacob Evers, Andy Perkins and Scott Phillips for bringing home medals from the Peach State Brew-Off. Peach State entries tend to be very high quality and medals are hard to come by. Nice work Mobsters!
