Our August meeting’s main event will be a presentation on Hops by Someone! We’ll talk varietals, usage techniques, equipment, efficiencies, acids, and more. Bring your pocket protectors - it’s gonna get nerdy.

Our undercard will be a system comparison - someone’s nice, modern, automated brewing setup compared with Matt’s stone-age bucket-and-water method. This will demonstrate the wide variety of equipment used for brewing, and (hopefully) prove that there’s more than one way to make a beer.

Finally, we’ll be holding our usual tasting, both providing structured feedback for those who want it and a free-form, casual tasting for those who just want to share their beer.
