Join John Aitchison, Chris Moon, and Roger Taylor in brewing this rare beer on Saturday, Jan 19 at the Home Beer and Wine Shop. Same recipe they used in Nov. 2016 and basically same recipe Figueroa Mountain used in brewing Deacon's Nightcap. See the attachment for details.

Be prepared to work--they'll be decocting over 100 pounds of grain in two kettles over two burners and they'll be using lots of burners to caramelize and concentrate wort. But you'll have fun and learn a lot and walk out with a unique beer. You will know decoctions when you leave.

Join Board Secretary Rick Morales as he leads the crew in brewing his Breakaway Barleywine on Sunday, November 18. Rick named this beer after Breakaway from Cancer - https://www.breakawayfromcancer.com and is dedicating this beer to his and our good friend and longtime Falcon Richard "Beanie" Webster, who has been struggling with cancer during the last year. Rick hopes to let his batch age until it can be tasted by Beanie when he's able to drink beer again.
