Yesterday was the Winter Party hosted by Perrin! It was great to see old friends, make new friends, and share beers and chilis.

The perennial informal High Gravity beer competition (>8% ABV, brewed in 2023). After a run-off election due to a tie, Jason B won with his Double Decoction, Four-Hour Boil, American Barleywine. All of the entries were great!

For the second time, we included a chili cook-off with the party, which was a great success with seven distinct and amazing entries. After another run-off election to break a three-way tie, Aaron D won with his Classic Chili #1.

The annual officer elections also wrap up during the party. Congratulations to Aaron D on being re-elected to another term as President. Congratulations to Adrian S on being elected to join the Executive Leadership Committee as the new Director of Operations!

Here’s to another great year for the club with big events, brew days, experiments, education topics, and barrel transfers throughout the year. Cheers! 🍻
