We’re thrilled to extend a warm invitation to our upcoming Homebrewing Club Social at Braxton Brewing in Covington, KY! Join us on October 12 at 7:30pm for an evening of camaraderie, craft, and creativity. This gathering is an opportunity to share our passion for homebrewing, swap stories, and discuss the art and science of brewing exceptional beer. Braxton Brewing’s welcoming atmosphere and delightful brews will set the perfect backdrop for an evening of lively discussions, laughter, and the joy of exploring the wonderful world of homebrewing. Bring your latest brews for a friendly tasting and be ready to learn and inspire fellow aficionados. Let’s raise our glasses and toast to the art of homebrewing!
…and now that the ChatGPT part is out of the way, come early if you can to help sort bottles for the Oktobersbest competition this weekend. Officers will be arriving around 6:30pm to begin sorting.
Cheerio! For the September meeting, we will be tasting and evaluating our second annual Fantasy Homebrew Draft. Last July, thirteen gr-r-eat homebrewing captains were assigned a yeast, a hop, and a drafting order to draft a base malt, two specialty malts, one hop, one process variable (which may have been loopy fruits or spices like crunchy cinnamon), and one breakfast cereal. Some beers may turn out golden while others may be darker, like cocoa. From the pebbles and puffs of krispy grain, there were no lucky charms with these brewers, they have life time of experience! So come help decide who goes on the front of the Wheaties box!
The meeting is September 14 at 7:30 PM at Queen City Clay. Park at the blue Ps and enter the building at the red arrows in the image below.
Step into a world of sensory delight as we embark on a journey to taste and evaluate the finest malt teas in our upcoming meeting. Like true connoisseurs, we’ll immerse ourselves in the art of discerning flavors, aromas, and textures that make each malt tea unique. From the first gentle sip to the lingering aftertaste, we’ll explore a wide spectrum of profiles – from the rich, caramel notes of roasted barley to the subtle sweetness of pale malt. As we gather to discuss and savor these exquisite brews, let’s hone our palates and uncover the hidden complexities that lie within every cup. Join us for an evening of camaraderie and appreciation of the age-old tradition of malt teas; together, we’ll celebrate the art of brewing and the pleasure it brings to our senses. Cheers!

For the July meeting, we will be holding our second annual Fantasy Homebrew Draft. We will draft brewing ingredients and process variables similar to how Fantasy Football drafts wide receivers (malts) and running backs (hops). Those that enter will be expected to brew a beer with those ingredients (etc) and bring back enough to share for the September meeting. There will be two winning beers decided in September – one judged by BJCP judges for the style entered and one that is a people’s choice award based on votes by all meeting participants. For various reasons, we need to limit participation in the draft, if you are interested in drafting/brewing, contact Matt B.
