The Nordeast Brewers Alliance is a very active club. We have multiple events per month. Hopefully, you will be able to join us for one, two or all!

Recurring Events:

Monthly Meeting – We generally meet at East Side Neighborhood Services from 6:45 pm – 9:00 pm on the third Thursday of every month. The exception is Jan-Mar, during this time the ESNS space is unavailable for we take this opportunity to visit our local homebrew stores. Check the calendar below for specific.

Taproom Takeovers – Every first Thursday of the month we have scheduled taproom takeovers to visit a local brewery’s taproom to check out new spots, or old favorites. 

Member Parties – Every year we hold two parties, a Summer party in July and a Winter Party in January. At the summer party, we hold a club only low-gravity (<5%) competition. At the winter party, we hold a corresponding high gravity( >8%) competition.

Homebrew Con – For the last 5 years we have had members attend Homebrew Con to enjoy the biggest homebrew event of the year. From presentations to social club to club night, we are always involved in any way we can be.

Big River Brewfest – Since the inception of the Big River Brewfest the NBA has been involved. Some of our founding members assisted ESNS in the creation of this amazing event. Our close partnership with ESNS allows us to continue to be involved.

Brew For Good – Being a part of a community is core to our values, when Josh from Brew For Good came to us in early 2018 we were excited to be part of this young event. This event has the potential to grow to a massively successful event, and in the end turning that success into direct support of local non-profits. Beer and philanthropy, an awesome combination.

Homebrew Competition – Every December we put on our AHA/BJCP sanctioned homebrew competition. We have a really talented pool of BJCP judges in the twin cities area that come out to help us judge 150-200 beers each year.
