When: Saturday January 7th, 2PM – 6PM
Where:
4981 Eagle Rock Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90041
This meeting is the first anniversary of our first official club meeting! We had many folks attend that brew day in the Bakofsky garage, and we got a great start to our club. This month we’ll be returning to the Eagle Rock Homebrew Supply shop, where we had our April and July club brew meeting. If you don’t like to stand for 4 hours, you should bring your own chair. Also bring lots of beer/homebrew!
The style of the month is Holiday Ales, but feel free to bring any type of homebrew to share and discuss with your fellow brewers. It would be a great idea to bring a copy of your recipe for any homebrews, as that only helps when discussing your beer.

Hope to see you Saturday at the Eagle Rock Homebrew Supply!

| Please note that the December meeting has been moved to Sunday the 4th, in order to avoid conflicts with the ColLAboration event at Golden Road Brewery on the 3rd, and the Strong Ale Festival at Pizza Port Carlsbad on the 2nd and 3rd. So why not go to one or both of those, and devote the whole weekend to great beer?This meeting will be hosted by Owner Gabe Gordon and Brewmaster Julian Shrago of Beachwood BBQ & Brewing in Long Beach! Julian will be giving a tour of the brewery, as well as answering our questions about his beers and his recent move from home brewer to Pro. Read a little bit more about them in this LA Weekly article from June.You can easily get here via the Metro Blue Line, as the 5th St. Station is just 2 blocks from the brewery. Consider taking the Metro, and leaving your car at home.
The style of the month is Belgian Strong Ales, but feel free to bring any type of homebrew to share and discuss with your fellow brewers.
Congrats go to Jeff Koehler for winning a 2nd place for his Export Stout in the California Homebrew Competition! This is the beer he brewed at the club brew in July behind the Eagle Rock Homebrew Shop. Full results can be seen here. Congrats also to our sister club Pacific Gravity for winning the Anchor CA Homebrew Club of the Year!
