When: Saturday March 3rd, 2PM – 5PM
Where: 2141 W. Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles
This month’s meeting has been moved from Haven Gastropub to Mohawk Bend. Haven’s brewpub is not up and running yet, so we’ll plan to go there in June when we can try their house brews. Tony Yanow and his staff are excited to have our club visit their restaurant and bar. If you have never been there, you are in for a treat. They have around 70 taps of mostly California Microbrews. There is great food, with lots of vegan and carnivore options, plus amazing pizza. Show up hungry and enjoy lunch with your beers. Since they sell beer here, only bring homebrews to share with your fellow club members, not commercial examples. At 5PM they will need to get ready for existing dinner reservations, so we can move to the bar area around that time.
The style of the month is Stout, 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.
The next
Club Only Competition is upon us! For those members who have a good example of a stout, please bring three 12-oz bottles to the March meeting along with the
recipe and
bottle labels already filled out. All classes of stout in the
BJCP Category 13 are welcome. The best stout will be sent to represent the club and those who were not selected can take their remaining bottles home or share with the club.
The April meeting will also have another Club Only Competition showdown – this time for Scottish and Irish Ales. Once again, if you have a beer in the Scottish/Irish styles of
BJCP Category 9, please bring three 12-oz bottles and completed paperwork to the April meeting.
Finally, the American Homebrewers Association’s National Homebrew Competition is soon upon us. Starting February 28, you can start entering your beer in the competition. This is the largest homebrew competition in the world and spots fill up quickly, so don’t wait too long to enter your beers! One 12-oz bottle is required for the first round and if your beer places, you will need to send 3 more to the Nationals. Jeff will speak more about this competition at the meeting.
