First and foremost, a huge thank you and shout-out to Northern Brewer Minneapolis! They hosted us for our February meeting and did a fantastic education discussion on packaging beer. It was awesome to get tips on kegging, bottle/keg carbonating and conditioning, and bottle filling to touch on a few.
2016 – Year of the Experiments. The Executive committee met to discuss the year, and we are moving forward in doing member driven, documented experiments. If you have an experiment that you would like to do, please reach out to the community for any support or brewing you might need. You can find the latest information on the 2016 Experiments page.
As well, in 2016 we are bringing the Taproom Take Over back! Every first Thursday of the month, we encourage all members to show up at a taproom to socialize and proudly display our NBA apparel. All events are going to be posted on the Club Calendar.

e resume our regular meeting schedule in 2016 with a meeting at Northern Brewer Minneapolis this Thursday the 18th at 7pm. Be sure to show up on time as the doors will be closed and locked shortly after 7pm.

This will be a great time to renew your membership if you were not able to attend the winter party as well as pick up some brewing supplies with a rare 15% off eligible items in the store.
We look forward to see you there!
Thanks to everyone that came out to the Winter Party this last weekend, it was a great time.
We had three beers on tap, a Mild, Flanders Red from our barrel project, and an IPA made on our club system. The food members brought was plentiful and excellent, we showed again that great brewers can also make great food.
Nathan G. brought a bunch of specialty grain he picked up from Bauhaus that members were free to take. There was Light Crystal, Dark Crystal, Pale Rye, Chocolate Rye and Pale Chocolate. Most of it went home with members, which was awesome. Included in the grain from Bauhaus was a large amount of base grain, which we will use to make beer on the club system!
Congratulations to Carl Allen for winning the High Gravity Competition with an 11% Stout.
Congratulations Tyler Bye for winning the election to the Director of Finance position. Tyler has been a member since 2011 and previously held the Director of Ops position. Its great to have his knowledge, experience and dedication back in a leadership role in the club.
Be sure to re-new your membership. You can do so online here: Join or Re-new Today! or you can re-new in person at our next meeting, February 18th, 7pm at Northern Brewer Minneapolis. We will see you then!
Each year in January we host a party where members bring food and beer, we hang out, have a high gravity club competition and vote on officers.
Active 2015 club members are invited. This is your best chance to renew your membership to maintain your homebrew store and beer store discounts. Check your email inbox for more info. The NBA leadership looks forward to partying with you all!
