The Club’s website now has a revolving calendar that shows the upcoming months and has a link to previous months. It will be updated shortly with known events throughout the year. Please take the time to go to the site and familiarize yourself with it http://www.escambiabayhomebrewers.org/. The Happenings tab shows the future and past events that we have participated in. We will be adding to the website throughout the year to enhance its content. Let us know if there is anything you’d like to see on the site that isn’t currently on it.
The grain orders will be available for pickup on, or after, New Year’s Day.
Years ago, the brew club met on the 3rd Thursday of each month. Beginning Jan. 21st we will add to our club activities The Thursday Night Brewers Group. The purpose of the group is to share expertise & to sample and evaluate our latest creations. All beverages are eligible for sampling. No comercial beverages are allowed unless the brewer brings it. To attend you must bring something. We need volunteers to provide a place to meet. Mark & I will host the first 2 meetings and when the weather is OK we may meet at Pat’s shop. If you are interested please let me know. Only those who respond will recieve email regarding this group.

Lets all get things coordinated so that we “ALL” brew together on National Big Brew Day (May 1st, 2010). For more info on the history and specifics regarding the day you can go to the following website but the big deal or us is simply to do a large club gathering where we brew beer! We did one of these kinds of events at the Wisteria pub last year and had a blast. This would be a great time for new members to learn about brewing and a great time for everybody to brew, network, buy & sell some equipment. Click here for more information.
In 1988, May 7th was announced before Congress as National Homebrew Day. The American Homebrewers Association created Big Brew as an annual event to celebrate National Homebrew Day not only in the United States, but around the world. Big Brew is held each year on the first Saturday in May.
