Sunday, February 3rd, 2019 - 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 - Drew - will present the style of the month which is "Flagship February" - a throwback to classics from breweries you love & should drink - and provide liquid examples. Remember to bring your own tasting glass and your homebrew to share and for review by your peers.

Attention Falcons, as part of the club's efforts to do more charitable activities and bring beer-joy to the world, we are honored to have been invited to once again host a homebrewed beer bar to support the Volunteer Appreciation Party of the local non-profit Food Forward on Saturday, January 26, 2019. To participate, you have to commit to bringing a 5 gallon keg (or a bunch of bottles) of beer, cider, soda, cold brew coffee, or kombucha, and be there by 4:00 PM to help set up.  

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.

Some of these beers include: Einstok Icelandic Doppelbock, TJ’s Vintage, Ridgeway Isanely Bad Elf, Diet du ciel’s solstice d’hiver, 2014 Sami Helles, and maybe a bonus gift or two.

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.
