April NBA events bring exciting events to come!
Somethings make it really feel like we are back in the swing of things. April’s events happened to be that way (for me).
MHBA Homebrew Fest
A number of members brewed a mini-single hop experiment which we hoped to pour at the Social Science Fermentational Informational. Seeing as clearance for that fell through, we thought, “We have beer… let’s crash another clubs party”. It was a fantastic event, and are very thankful to the MHBA for letting us show up and meet a lot of really awesome home brewers! We even got a few new members. Check out the summary on the MHBA site

Science Museum – Social Science: Fermentational Informational
Aaron De Boer, Aaron Hamann, Perrin Bishop-Wright and Brian Kane all represented the NBA by talking to attendees about hops. Along with sharing our knowledge, we had our awesome poster full of hop facts (Thank you Tyler Bye), and had about a dozen hop varieties for people to enjoy the scent (or taste if they dared!).
