Next week (Thu Feb 20 7pm @ ESNS) we will ruin some perfectly good beer in the spirit of sensory training. Come by for some off-flavor spike kits and to share some proper beverages.
All NBA events are open to anyone interested or experienced in the hobby.
Cheers!
There are a few NBA events coming up!
The photos this month are from the NBA Winter Party in January, which includes officer elections, high-gravity (>8% ABV) informal club competition, chili cook-off, and general revelry. It was a great time as always!
Next week the monthly meeting education topic is on equipment profiles in brewing software. If you want some best practices on how to configure your settings, swing by the meeting and pick up a few tips.

Happy New Year! 🍻🥂🍾🍸
We have a few events going on this month, so come join us!
A number of club members have been meeting for #GameNight over the past few months. The photo here shows members sharing a game, beers, and laughs at a local brewery. This is open to everyone with games coordinated through our Discord chat server.
Folks of all levels are welcome to all NBA events to talk and learn about beer, mead, cider, wine, and myriad fermented beverages. Come to any event and we will make sure to share some of our brews with you. See you there!
Mexican Christmas beer is the education topic at the club meeting next week. A few members brewed up similar batches, so come check out the differences and learn about this style.

Thanks to everyone who entered, judged, stewarded, and supported this year’s competition. Check out the results and the page below. We had a great time putting it together and always look forward to the next one.
Sour Times will come back in 2025 with planning in April, entries in May, and judging in June.
This month we are visiting BlackStack, judging beers, emptying a barrel, and talking about Mexican Christmas beer. An action-packed month, so swing by one of the club events and say hello. We always have plenty of beverages to share.
What are cereal grains? How do we use unmalted grains in brewing? Are there enzymes we can add to use these ingredients and make our brew days better? BSG HandCraft will be at our November meeting next week.
Thu Nov 21, 7pm, East Side Neighborhood Services, Northeast Minneapolis, open to everyone.
Bring some tasting glasses (or we have some you can use) and homebrew beer/wine/mead/cider/etc. to share (or we have plenty) and learn about this brewing science.
Space is limited by the number of *paid* entries, so complete that right away and get your favorite batches into the site and sent off to our friends at Beer Meister. This competition can fill up quickly! Thanks for entering!
A couple November notes: The NBA competition opens at NOON CENTRAL today, so keep an eye on NBABrewComp.com for more detail. Next week we will meet up at Nine Mile Brewing in Bloomington for a Taproom Takeover social hour. Later in the month, Ilya from BSG HandCraft will be by to talk about brewing with cereals (unmalted grains) and enzymes.
Does any of that sound interesting? We look forward to you stopping by and checking it out. The club is open to anyone interested in fermented beverages (and more), so come check out a meeting or event before you need to sign up as a member. Cheers!
