Summer 2026 – Buddy Brew!The Summer Buddy Brew for 2026 was a Single Malt and Single Hop (SMaSH) beer competition. Teams were able to choose the single malt and hop variety they wanted to use to make a beer style of their choosing.The beers were then served at the Rock Hoppers Brew Club summer picnic. The variety of beers produced by the participants was impressive, especially with a SMaSH beer competition. They made for excellent beverages to enjoy at the picnic.The winners of this year’s Summer Picnic Buddy Brew SMaSH beer competition were:First place – Jordan and Joey for their Kolsch (Rahr Pilsner malt and Hallertau Mittelfrüeh hops).Runners-up – Geoff H. and Matt L. for their Rotbier (Gambrinus Mars malt and Saaz hops).Congratulations and thank you to everyone who competed! ...

Malt Liquor... but Make It Craft!When our club wanted to boost summer participation with a fun new club competition, we came up with an unexpected challenge: a Malt Liquor Brew-Off!To make it official, our current president Matt Johnsen tracked down a vintage Schlitz malt liquor tap handle on eBay and transformed it into a one-of-a-kind trophy, complete with a custom base proclaiming the 2026 Rock Hoppers Brew Club Malt Liquor Champion.The competition was announced in March, giving brewers plenty of time to brew and lager their entries before judging at the July club meeting. Members competed not only for Best Malt Liquor, but also for Best Label/Presentation, with winners chosen by a People's Choice vote. Given the high ABV of many entries, the club also encouraged everyone to plan for a safe ride home.The results? Incredible.Our talented brewers took a beer style with a less-than-stellar reputation and elevated it into something truly enjoyable. Entries featured creative custom labels, authentic repurposed 40-ounce bottles, and even one malt liquor brewed with edible glitter!"The beers far exceeded my expectations. Our brewers took a beer style with a poor reputation and made versions that were enjoyable to drink. There wasn't a bad beer, and it was very difficult to pick a winning malt liquor." — Competition Director Chris BurgessAfter several close rounds of voting, Matt Lawlor was crowned Best Malt Liquor Champion, while Mike Koehler earned top honors for Best Label/Presentation.The overwhelming response from members? Let's do it again! Interested in learning more about the Rock Hoppers Brew Club or joining us at a future meeting? Visit rhbc.co.
