Hey, went to Eagle Rock Brewery yesterday for a class and learned that there was a brewing club on the East Side. Excellent! I’m tired of schlepping to Culver City to meet up with Brewers. When do you guys meet?

We typically meet once a month, but as opposed to standing around just talking about beer, most of our meetings are either a saturday or sunday morning brew session, or field trip to a brewery, beer bar, etc. I’ll add you to our email list to keep you up to speed.

We just had a meeting this past saturday morning. When we figure out what we’re doing next month I’ll drop you a line!

Lee.

I’d like to know when your next meeting is gonna be. I’m very new at this. I’ve only brewed one batch of pale ale back in Sept. Gotta say, it did come out good. Wanna meet some brewers and beer afficionados in the area….

Gonna brew a batch of IPA this tuesday-just bought a freezer with an external thermostat that I’ll be using as my dedicated fermentor. I’m pretty damn excited!! Hope to hear back from your group.

Whats up. I’ve been experimenting with homebrewing for about a year; made a few extract/specialty grain batches that came out great. I want to expand my knowledge about this fun craft and would like to meet people that are just as enthusiastic as I am. Plus, like Amy, I don’t want to drive to culver city every time I want to meet beer fanatics. Any info on your next meeting or brew session would be great.

Hey, gents. I know I’ve met at least one of you at Blue Palms events. Please put me on the e-mail list. I’ve got an ad hoc group of east side brewers that would enjoy being part of a bigger club. We informally refer to ourselves as the Anglo-Latino Los Angeles Brewing Collective. Pints up!

We just wanted to let everyone know that we’ve added a CO2 filling station to the Eagle Rock store. We know many of you have been looking forward to the option of getting your tanks refilled on weekends.

Just got back into homebrewing after a short stint as a husband. Traded the wife for my old equipment and looking to join a brew club. Let me know when the next meeting is.

We should have a forum on here so we can share recipes, links, articles, DIY stuff, etc…

Hi Dennis,
You just need to come to our next meeting (which will be March 3rd) to sign up. The yearly dues are $24, and you must be a homebrewer or fermenter of another kind of beverage (wine, mead, sake, etc). Looking forward to meeting you in person soon!
Thanks,
Josh Jensen
President

Thanks everyone that attended a little over a week ago. You’ll all be happy to know that the Amber is doing well and may be ready in time for the next meeting (JUST BARELY!).

In the meantime, and I will post this on facebook, too, but I’m looking to borrow a couple of carboys for a few weeks. Anyone have anything that they can loan out? 5-gallon is fine as having them for secondary will be extremely helpful, too.

Hi Yeastside Brewers!

I am currently casting a new feel-good TV show for USA called “The Moment” about helping people get a second chance at their dream career. One career in particular that we are looking at is: Brew Master. I thought this could appeal to you Beer Aficionados.

We are very specifically looking for people who have some experience in brew making but do NOT currently work in the industry due to varying circumstances. This opportunity could potentially catapult someone into the industry.

Thanks for any help you’re able to provide.

Best,
Julie Knapp
Casting Associate
The Moment

Have you or someone you know always dreamed of becoming a Brew Master? Do you have the training to do so but have been unable to follow your dreams? Nominate yourself or your loved one for the opportunity of a lifetime by going to MysticArtPictures.com and clicking “The Moment” to apply for our show!

May i please join your bus trip? Please e-mail the paypal info and i’ll pay.
thanx,
dave (a Falcon….)

The bus trip will cost you $25/person. You can pay at the March meeting, or reply to this email to have a PayPal invoice sent to you. Please pay ASAP, so we have a head count for the bus. After the event we will stop by a brewpub in the area for a early dinner and more beers before heading back to LA.

Hey Dave,
We didn’t get enough people to cover the cost of a bus, so it turned into a van trip. The van is now full, but if anyone drops out, I will let you know right away!
Thanks, Josh

Fellow home brewers,

Hi! My name is Chuck Srock and I am a home brewer, beer enthusiast, and graduate business student at San Diego State University.

This semester, I’ve been fortunate enough to be assigned an extremely interesting beer-related project. My team and I are performing a feasibility study for a beer recommendation mobile application. The purpose of the application is to get people to discover new beers based on their own personal beer likes and dislikes. For example: If someone likes both Lagunitas’ Cappuccino Stout and North Coast’s Rasputin, then the application may suggest they try Stone’s Imperial Stout.

We believe the concept could be very entertaining and beneficial to our fellow beer enthusiasts, as well as the general public. However, we must prove the concept will be embraced using data instead of just our opinion. Therefore, we have designed a 30 question anonymous survey which scientifically measures people’s interest in our beer recommending mobile application. The survey is web based (through Qualtrics.com) and shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes to complete.

We’re hoping you and some of your club members will be interested in helping us by taking our survey. Those that complete the survey will be entered into a drawing to receive a $20 Amazon.com gift card.

Survey link: https://sdsubusiness.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_6wZkyfMrigIxaS0

If you believe your club members might be interested in participating in our survey, please forward this email to them. The survey link in this email will work for them too. To be entered into the gift card drawing, your members will need to respond by 4/6/2012.

Thanks, and happy home brewing!
