May Meeting – Eagle Rock Brewery

by Josh Jensen on May 10, 2012

When: Saturday May 12th, 2PM – 6PM

Where: 3056 Roswell Street  Los Angeles, CA 90065
This Saturday is our monthly meeting at Eagle Rock Brewery.  Club co-founder and ERB employee Lee Bakofsky will be hosting us.  Around 2:30 we’ll get a tour of the brewery, and then meeting announcements at 3PM.  If you would like to contribute to the cause, snacks are always welcome!  At about 6PM, the Grilled Cheese food truck will arrive if you want to buy some grub.  In order to reduce trash, we suggest members bring their own tasting glass.  Some members of our fellow homebrew club Pacific Gravity plan to come share a beer with us around 4PM and afterwards.  We’ll be putting the pressure on all of you to attend the Brew For The Cure event in Van Nuys the next day!  See the link below for more details. The style of the month is American Ales, but feel free to bring any type of homebrew. Consider bringing a copy of your recipe, as that only helps when discussing your beer and getting feedback. If you would like to see the meeting locations and styles for the rest of this year, check the website for recent updates.

Upcoming Events
-May 13th is Brew For The Cure.  Come support member Barrett Amato as he raises $5000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

-June 2nd is the next meeting, at Haven Gastropub in Pasadena. The style of the month is German Wheat Beers.

It’s getting close to that time!  The tasting test is scheduled for July 21st which means we will be starting class on May 19th to get ready for the online test.  The class will be every Saturday for 7 weeks.  The online test covers a wide range of topics from BJCP protocols to brewing techniques, materials and theories and can be taken at any time before the seated test on July 21st.  I have contacted everyone that I had on the signup list.  If you signed up and did not get an email from me, I may have lost/messed up your contact info.  Please resend to  competitioncoordinator@yeastsidebrewers.org.
