If you can judge on Oct. 24, the Long Beach Homebrewers can use the help.  There is a morning session only.  All the contact information can be found at http://www.longbeachhomebrewers.com/comp/.

Sunday September 11th - Join us for our monthly membership meeting.  All are welcome!

The meeting starts at 11:00 am, with introductions and general business. The Grand Hydro (John Aitchison standing in for Drew as he'll be in dispose at work - 1st NFL Sunday of the season) will present the style of the month ""other than Belgian sours" (Brett beers, Gose, Berliner Weiss, barrel aged--stuff like that) and provide liquid examples. Remember to bring your own tasting glass and your homebrew to share and for review by your peers.

Falcons, sign up now for the August Club Shop Brew Session as Board Member Ed Kochanowski leads the crew in brewing a Black IPA, that style you hate to love or love to hate. Cascadian Dark Ale? American Style Black Ale? Who cares! Either way, you know it will be deeply, darkly hoppy! Black IPA is a beer with the dryness, hop-forward balance, and flavor characteristics of an American IPA, only darker in color – but without strongly roasted or burnt flavors. The flavor of darker malts is gentle and supportive, not a major flavor component. 

Hey Falcons,

The Strand Brewers would like to invite you to ride along on our August BBBB “Beach Bar Bike Bash” along the South Bay Bike path.

On Saturday, August 27, we’ll start at Simmzy’s on the Manhattan Beach pier and work our way through some of the finest beer venues the South Bay has to offer.

Bring lots of sun block and good specs. The scenery is awesome!

For more details, contact long time Falcons member Jay Ankeney at jayankeney@mac.com

Falcons, sign up now for the July Club Shop Brew Session as Board Members Matt and Andy lead the crew in brewing a Belgian Witbier, your ultimate warm-fermenting, cool-drinking summer brew, on Sunday, July 31! 

Falcons - Please bring in canned food to this Sunday's club meeting to benefit struggling families served by MEND! Falcons, as you know, our cup runeth over (a lot), so we have begun to incorporate charitable giving into our club activities, by raising funds to donate to worthy local causes, and by pouring home brewed beer and soda at events to support causes.

For years, we have held a toy drive to support the Firefighters' Spark of Love to benefit at-risk and needy kids, and last year, we donated to Friends of the L.A. River and Ojai Raptor Center.
