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.

Yes, I am putting this up early so you can all get the jump on getting those toys ready to bring this year! This will be our 9th Annual Toy Drive to benefit those less fortunate than us. Last year we got a great amount of toys. Let's top it this year. Please bring a new unwrapped toy to benefit underprivileged children. After the meeting, we will take these to the Los Angeles Fire Department for distribution to the kids during the holidays. We will be collecting the toys at the meeting, but please feel free to bring them sooner and drop them off at the shop.

The next Club meeting is Sunday, November 4, 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM, at Figueroa Mountain Brewing's Westlake Village brewpub!

They have wide range of fantastic brews, both novel and classic styles and a beautiful, fun restaurant. We have been trying to get one of our meetings into a brewery for some time now, and Fig. Mtn. has been enthusiastically trying to host us! They've been a generous friend of the Falcons, donating lots of excellent prizes and beer to sponsor our competitions, and they have offered to brew a collaboration brew for our 45th anniversary in 2019!

Our annual Brew With a Falcon day is going to be a little different this year. In the past, BWaF has taken place on a set Saturday where 4 - 6 hosts across the Los Angeles area. We're thinking it would be a lot more fun to have BWaF on as many days as possible in March - just like there is a slew of basketball games in the month of March! Our hopes are to have at least 1 brew day on each weekend of the month. Makes it a little easier for everyone to make it to BWaF this year - weekends get booked up quickly with life stuff!
