Buddy Brew 2015 is here!

by

Signup for the buddy brew is now underway. This year, we have a set list of 20 different ingredients, of which you must choose three.

Teams will be made up of one experienced brewer, and one newer brewer, and will be assigned by the officers.

The competition will take place at one of the fall meetings, and judged by the club.

There are enough people signed up for nine teams as of today.

Sign up by sending a private message to the Facebook page! When registering, make sure to include your full name, contact information, number of years in the club, number of years brewing, and if you brew extract or all grain.

May Meeting Minutes

by

Rock Hoppers Brew Club Agenda

May 14, 2015 6:45 PM – Castle Rock Homebrew Supply

Call to Order and Welcome to New Members – Bryan Pramov 

President’s Report – Brian Pramov 

Support your local homebrew shop (Castle Rock Homebrew Supply). Buy things from Eric, he lets us meet here!

  • Pay your dues! See Mark
  • Insurance – As part of the insurance package, we’ve elected to include officers insurance in our policy, which is a slight additional cost
    • We’ve heard that other clubs have had to collect member’s addresses and contact information, and in case we need it, we’ll be doing the same. Please fill provide your information on the sign-in sheet (this will also allow us to get a better idea of where everyone is coming from, and plan events closer to everyone)
  • The meetings are moving! Staring in June (next month), we will be meeting at Grist. The meetings will still be Thursday nights, at the same time
    • Due to the recent change in Colorado Law, Homebrew clubs are now allowed to meet in Licensed Breweries and other establishments, and serve home brew
    • The law states that everyone consuming alcohol on the premises during the meeting must be a dues-paying member of the club. Visitors to the club will no longer be able to sample homebrew, and will be asked to join the club on their first visit
      • This is REQUIRED due to the law, and we don’t want the club nor Grist to get into trouble. 
    • The club also wants to give huge thank you to Eric for hosting us over the last two years. The club will continue to support the shop and encourage members to shop here.

Event Director’s Report – Justin Vandergriffe

  • AHA Rally at Hall Brewing, May 16th. Requires Signup through AHA Website.
