After winning the April club competition on pale ale, Jim and Isaac brewed up a batch at HeadFlyer which will be released on Friday. Swing by for a pint to celebrate.

This month the club is running our #SourTimes homebrew competition, heading to Saint Paul to meet at Urban Growler for some social time, and setting up a malt steeping education topic at the monthly meeting. Brewers of all levels are welcome to join us any time and maybe learn something, too.

See you there!

Next week learn about off-flavors and how to prevent them in your beer. We are brewing up a clean, straightforward beer to add vials of mysterious liquids to replicate what bad beer tastes like so we can identify and prevent those mistakes!

The meetings are at ESNS in Northeast Minneapolis and we love to see new folks join the meetings. Whether you have been brewing for a handful of years or just planning out your first handful of batches, come join the revelry and education next week.
ESNS, Thu May 16, 7-9pm
Cheers! 🍻

The education next week is the process for making mead. Mark will show off his process, which will lead up to another education topic this summer about tasting these batches.

Brewers of all levels are welcome to come, mead-makers, beer-focused, or any other fermented beverage connoisseur.

Next week: Thu Mar 21, 7-9pm, East Side Neighborhood Services (probably lower level again)

March is a busy month for the NBA! Come join us!

• Kicking off Sour Times competition planning
• Taproom Takeover social hour at Venn
• Flanders barrel transfer
• Barrel committee meeting
• Monthly meeting with education about making mead

The events keep rolling with grew brews, more barrels, wort rallies, and so much more as the weather gets warmer.

Brewers of all levels are welcome to join any and all events, so check out the calendar and stop by! Reach out if you have any questions. Cheers! 🍻

The education topic this month is the intersection of “Beer, Alcohol, and Health”. Next week we will get together at our normal meeting location, East Side Neighborhood Services (lower level this month!), to talk about recent club events, share some homebrews, and dig into this education topic.

Brewers of all levels are welcome to join. Bring some homebrew (if you have it). Bring some tasting glasses (or we have a couple plastic cups). Bring your beer and brewing topics.

This month we have a #taproomtakeover with our friends at HeadFlyer and an education topic about beer, alcohol, and health. Come meet up with the club and see what we have going on! Soon we will have some barrel transfers for lambic and flanders style beers from club barrels, an informal competition for a pro-am with our HeadFlyer friends, and plenty of other shenanigans!

Brewers of all levels are welcome to join any of our events and meetings! Bring some tasting glasses to sample other homebrew — and bring your own if you have it!

Cheers! 🍻
