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.
Chris Arnt brews Baltic Porter with Hutton and Smith
Barley Mob President Emeritus Chris Arnt had the opportunity to brew a Baltic Porter with local brewery Hutton and Smith.
Chris’s Baltics are excellent. So are Hutton and Smith’s. How awesome is this beer going to be? We can’t wait.
